Hi,
As you will hear on the NCBI podcast I am appealing for information on
braille displays that are currently in use in Ireland together with older
ones that still work but are no longer in use,
To make it easier for everyone to respond, I have set up a short email
address for the Braille Project.
Please forward all responses to:
braille@xxxxxxx
So far there has been a healthy response but I am sure there must be more
braille notetakers out there.
The idea is that we will write a connecting driver for an older display such
as the Braille Lite series (2000, 18 millenium, 20b or 40b) to be
distributed free with NVDA so that they can be used as braille displays and
for input to NVDA.
All the best,
Cearbhall
