[nfbcs] Old braille display, new computer

[Steve Jacobson]

Tracy,

I forgot to mention that you will have to verify the serial settings in your
braille display as well so you know what has to be done to match them.  An
older display may have defaults that are not common now.  

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson

Subject: [nfbcs] Old braille display, new computer

I connected a USB to serial cable to my laptop and installed the drivers,
and saw the com port assigned to the cable, but, when I connect my old
serial braille display, Jaws doesn't see it, nor will Jaws allow me to
hard-code the correct com port-it insists on "auto".

Is this likely still a cable problem?  I have not yet tried the other cable
makers people recommended.

Thanks.

Tracy
