That might indeed be something to experiment with. Let's keep it in mind for after the basics are all working. Will there be a way for the user to specify brltty options? He could, of course, do it via a brltty.conf file, which is normally expected to be in /etc. /etc may not make sense in the grub environment. Brltty has a -f option to explicitly specify its location, which grub could pass to brlttyConstruct(). >>> usb<number>, >> What's the number here?

Well, it's about as unpredictable as ttyUSBn on Linux, so that's okay. As long as usb_grub is working, brltty will be able to locate a USB device the way it usually does. >> Are these something like "port" followed by three hex digits? >3 or 4 usually.

Wouldn't com<n> devices appear just as immediately? -- Dave Mielke | 2213 Fox Crescent | The Bible is the very Word of God.
