As far as I know, all screen readers that work in windows are compatible. I personally use Jaws and NVDA, but Windows Eyes also works and others no doubt as well. Virtualization produces a discrete platform for the OS that is not easily affected by the host system’s limitations. Basically, you

I had heard that there were a sequence of steps to be done at the log in screen, at least just before the Mac side of things booted up. I just was not certain what the order was. I know if this is done at the log-in screen, you will not have any speech. I am assuming there will be some speech if

as long as you know the boot order you can use a scheme like that to determine the boot OS. Problem is, yours is not a typical boot order, usually its Mac OS, then Recovery, then bootcamp. But it could be any order depending on various factors. Usually Mac OS X comes up when booting a mac. One

The rule is that a disk less than or equal to 32 GB should be formatted as FAT32, whereas disks larger than 32 GB should be formatted as ExFAT. Exception: for interoperability with Linux, always use FAT32. This works because the overhead required for maintaining the directories and FAT is abou

Hi, NTFS is readable by OS X but not writeable without diving into the Terminal or using some third party utilities. In Disk Utility, your choices for making drives accessible by both Windows and Mac are FAT32 and XFAT. FAT32 should do the trick for a Flash drive. If it was an external HD, X
