Howard,
The display is an Alva, and it should show up in the list of braille
displays in Window-Eyes. I have one of these displays, and it works very
well on my wife's desktop computer using the serial port. I used to run it
on my Windows 98 machine using the parallel port, but that didn't work on
the newer XP machine, so we switched. I think I have some documentation
around here in electronic format, so let me know if you want it, and I'll
try and find it.
Steve
