Janice,
I have some familiarity with that old unit.
It was cool for its time as it required no resident software to display the
screen. in braille.  Later versions had the ability to bring the cursor to
the display with a command.
You just plug it into an 8 bit slot and it works.
Now-a-days it might work on very old 286 or maybe 386 machines but only
in dos and I couldn't guarantee that at all.

If someone loves old gear and wants a pretty cooll display for old software
then it might be fun..
but the company has been out of business for years so no fixie.

If you don't get any other takers,, Before you absolutely trash
it, let me know and we'll talk about shipping it here so i can
see if it is worth having.
