[gui-talk] braille and windows7 and 64 bit

[qubit]

Greetings all.  I am writing to ask anyone about their experience getting 
drivers for embossers and braille displays that are compatible with 64bit 
windows7
I am soon to get a new system to retire my old xp and I am wondering if the 
braille will have to stay on my old machine or will it travel? My embosser 
is an Everest, which is still being sold, but my model does not connect via 
USB -- requires either parallel or serial (if any machines are left with 
that relic).  I have a USB to parallel adaptor, but this doesn't identify 
the embosser to the new version of winbraille -- those with Index line of 
embossers will know about winbraille. I don't think I can install the 
drivers without installing winbraille on top of it. Or can I? Does anyone 
use the Everest?

My display is a brailliant, and the newest drivers I know about are dated 
2005.
It really needs new software.
Has anyone been able to update software to use their old braille equipment?
Anybody want to buy a brailliant??? (just kidding -- I'm sure it must be 
supported, but someone else was asking this question a while back and I 
didn't see an answer.  Humanware tech support had better have some idea, or 
else I will have lost a bunch of money on this display...(good display, tech 
support difficult).

Happy brailling all.
