I read this group for quite awhile now and I've learned many interesting things. Many thanks for this. Sometime ago, someone posted an article saying he developped a software for the VersaBraille. As I'm seriously considering buying it, I sent him a piece of e-mail to obtain more information on his software. I don't know if my mail reached him or what happened but I didn't receive any reply. I'm sorry to bother him again if he could read my first message and didn't reply for any reason but I hardly need the information. I post this article to everyone because I'm also interested in every other information a helpful soul may give me about terminal emulators and file transfer programs that run on a VersaBraille. Here is more precisely my problem. A friend of mine wants to control a PC-compatible with a VersaBraille II+. I don't know much about the VBII+ but I was told it's programmable. We should be very interested in finding a vt100 or vt102 emulator that runs on the VBII+. With such a beast, we may connect the VB to the PC through a com port and then, run a program on the PC like PcAnywhere or Carbon Copy or some others that allow you to control a PC with a vt100-like terminal. I also know of a program called "tandem31" that allows you to control a PC either from its own console or from an Heath-19 terminal. So, my first question is What kind of terminal emulator can we run on a VBII+? The second thing we would like to do is to make file transfers between the VBII+ and the PC. I know this transfer is quite easy to establish with an old Versabraille P2d (the one with a cassette drive) but, how can it be done with the VBII+? Many thanks in advance for any information!
