Hi everyone!
I read this group for quite awhile now and I've learned many
interesting things. Many thanks for this. Sometime ago, someone
posted an article saying he developped a software for the
VersaBraille. As I'm seriously considering buying it, I sent him a
piece of e-mail to obtain more information on his software. I don't
know if my mail reached him or what happened but I didn't receive any
reply. I'm sorry to bother him again if he could read my first message
and didn't reply for any reason but I hardly need the information. I
post this article to everyone because I'm also interested in every
other information a helpful soul may give me about terminal emulators
and file transfer programs that run on a VersaBraille. Here is more
precisely my problem.
A friend of mine wants to control a PC-compatible with a VersaBraille
II+. I don't know much about the VBII+ but I was told it's
programmable. We should be very interested in finding a vt100 or vt102
emulator that runs on the VBII+. With such a beast, we may connect the
VB to the PC through a com port and then, run a program on the PC like
PcAnywhere or Carbon Copy or some others that allow you to control a PC
with a vt100-like terminal. I also know of a program called "tandem31"
that allows you to control a PC either from its own console or from an
Heath-19 terminal. So, my first question is
What kind of terminal emulator can we run on a VBII+?
The second thing we would like to do is to make file transfers between
the VBII+ and the PC. I know this transfer is quite easy to establish with
an old Versabraille P2d (the one with a cassette drive) but, how can it
be done with the VBII+?
Many thanks in advance for any information!
Christophe Delaunay.

[This is from the Blink Talk Conference]
I would suggest that you call talking computers inc in falls church
VA and talk to Doug wakefield I think that he is a good source of
information for this kind of think another solution would be to buy
a Braille 'n Speak from me and use speaksys Witch is our pc access
software. With this you use the Braille keybourd on the bns to type
(you can use grade two Braille) and it comes up on the screen of the
pc. with this you can run any pc software and access it with the
Braille 'n Speak. You can reach me at (301)879-4944 and if you would
like to talk to doug wakefield call (703)241-8224
Thanks
