The ARCP-480 software works fine with JAWS.    While it can be fun to 
play around with, the 2 main features I find useful are  that menu items 
are named, so you don't have to remember what number does what.  Also, 
the ability to save  settings like menus and memories, so you can reload 
them if there is a disaster, reset, or firmware update.
