John, Or it would be nice if someone could take an old notetaker, and remove the old motherboard, and connect the RPI in it's place, connecting the speaker and keyboard and then the serial to the USB ports. That would leave a lot of room inside for extra memory, and a larger battery. Glenn ----- Original Message ----- From: "John G.

You buy the keyboard thing and a RPI, open a door on the back of the thing, connect up cables for speaker, USB keyboard, and USB braille display, snap the RPI into place, close the door, and you've got your braille notetaker. When your RPI gets old, you buy a new one, snap out the old RPI, and put in the new one. Of course, I'm anticipating the RPI supporting speakup soon. This device I'm imagining wouldn't be much use today. Actually, why wouldn't emacspeak work? Emacspeak must work on the RPI, doesn't it? =========================================================== The raspberry-vi mailing list Archives: //www.freelists.org/archives/raspberry-vi Administrative contact: <mike.ray@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> ----------------------------------------------------------- Raspberry Pi and the Raspberry Pi logo are trademarks of the Raspberry Pi Foundation.
