Answering this type of question isn't as easy as one would hope. We're all volunteers, and braille devices are expensive. This means that we simply don't have the resources to purchase new devices just to see if they work with brltty. We do try very hard, though, to add support for a new device that doesn't yet work. What I can tell you is that brltty has fairly general support for HIMS devices, and also that the Smart Beetle is supported. If you do get the device you're interested in, and if it turns out that it doesn't yet work with brltty, we'll work with you to try to add support for it. Perhaps you could ask your vendor/distributor to test it for you. Perhaps you could arrange a conditional purchase. If it doesn't work then, perhaps, you could suggest that they lend us one so that we can directly work on adding support for it. I know a person who may be able to give a better answer so I'll also ask her for her opinion on your question. -- I believe the Bible to be the very Word of God: http://Mielke.cc/bible/ Dave Mielke | 2213 Fox Crescent | WebHome: http://Mielke.cc/ EMail: [email protected] | Ottawa, Ontario | Twitter: @Dave_Mielke Phone: 1-613-726-0014 | Canada K2A 1H7 | _______________________________________________ This message was sent via the BRLTTY mailing list.
