The latest version of Duxbury contains translation tables for UEB and also 
for English Braille, American Edition, among many others. I'm not sure what 
it defaults to, but you can set it up any way you like, and EBAE is probably 
going to be supported for many years to come.

Thanks for the tips, Lloyd.  I would like to at least have the option of
using one sided or versa point printing, but this one doesn't have that
option.

The only way I would consider updating Duxbury is if newer updates offered
the choice of traditional grade 2 or UEB Braille.  I think those of us older
blind people should be given that choice.  I hate UEB Braille.

I have always driven my embossers from the serial port rather than parallel.
I use the Duxbury Braille Translator, and recently brought it up to date.
I haven't used this setup in Windows 10 yet, but it should work. Beware of
USB-to-serial adapters, however. I have been using 3 RadioShack Gigaware
adapters: one for FT950 control, one for rotor control and one for driving
the braille embosser. I intended to make a newer computer which runs Windows

10 my logging computer. But the USB-to-serial drivers for devices which
contain a chipset from Prolific were updated, starting at Windows 8.1, such
that adapters like mine which happen to have fake Prolific chips will not
work in Windows 8 or 10. Cables from more reputable folks like FTDI should
still work.
