Hello, everyone!
I hope you are all doing well. I have a question for you. Do any of you know which screen reader supports the PowerBraille80 that was made back in the 90's?
I was approached by someone who is transitioning from Dos to Windows, and they are trying to find a screen reader, like NVDA or System Access that can support that Braille display.
If you know of anything, we'd greatly appreciate to hear from you!
Many thanks! :-)

The PowerBraille80's [documentation] is available from Freedom Scientific, so if I had to venture a guess Jaws would be your best and/or only bet.

A transfer from dos to windows now?
Is dos working without dosbox as a normal sistem?

Don't ask me why, I know you are curious, but I'm not the one who is transitioning from Dos, so I don't know what the heck you mean by dosbox. all I know is that they were using Dialup to connect via SSH, similar to Unix server hosting, except that it was through a provider called X-Net. Unfortunately, they are no longer supporting dialup, so they need to upgrade to Windows and get a screen reader that works with their Braille display, or else try a Mac.
