[Blindmath] brailliant braille display and windows xp

[Louis Maher]

John,

I also had good luck with JAWS 12 for xp and JAWS 13 for Windows 7.

Here are some instructions about driver loading.

Hello,
I will paste your questions here and then my answers after them. Hopefully I
am able to satisfactorily answer your 
questions. If not, please feel free to ask for further clarification.
1. If you were loading the Brailliant 80 on to a new Windows 7 machine,
using JAWS 12, Which files would you use, and in what order? When
would you plug in the Braille display to the computer using the USB
port?
TS: You would use the files found under the link for latest signed drivers
for JAWS
(http://www.baum.de/cms/en/support/#c367). 
You would run the microsoft 
certified USB drivers first, then connect the brailliant via 
the USB port and run the JAWS file.
  New drivers supporting all current BAUM and Humanware Bluetooth and USB
braille displays that comply with Freedom Scientific's Digital Driver
Signing initiative have been released, so these displays will now work with
current versions of JAWS. You can get the driver at
http://www.baum.de/cms/en/support/

There are a couple of other tricks concerning which Braille display to point
at in the JAWS Braille display list.  If you call, perhaps we can get it to
work.  My cell is 713-444-7838.

I've used a Brailliant 40 with XP for years with both JAWS and NVDA. With
the old drivers it was always a pain to get it working on any new machine. 
The newer drivers are much easier since I don't have to manually select the
USB port.
