The particular device I have in my office works. But I don't really know if there are variants of this device. > >>I've selected in brltty.conf braille-driver tn and braille-device >>serial:ttyUSB0. It doesn't work. The serial converter is connected, OK here is the command I use to launch brltty : /bin/brltty -b tn -d /dev/ttyS0 -t text.pln but it is connected on a native serial device, not on a converter. >>there is the file /dev/ttyUSB0. > > That all looks correct.

On this one, tehe >>"Windows", no "Jaws". I tried also with "Emulation PC". I am still the one who told that. In fact when starting the alizé you you got a menu. I discover that on my device you have to click the jaws item to establish a connection between the device and the pc that may be used by brltty. Once jaws is clicked and you start the pc you get a message : "connection non établie 2279" until you get brllty welcome message. Beware Raphaël I am not shure that with very old stuff you might do operations in any order. In fact I always start the alizé, click on jaws and then start the pc. I tried also this options emulation pc but it never gave anything. I suspect that we do not have exactly the same soft on the alizé even if the device itself is the same. > > I don't know enough about the TechniBraille to have an opinion on this. > >>Is this braille display still supported ? > > Ideally, yes. Without having been able to do any testing, who knows. I know : up to restrictions I mentioned above. In fact I see at least three differnces between my situation and Raphaël's : 1. connection via a true serial port vs an adapter 2. Maybe not exactly the same soft version in the braille device. 3. I am driving this alizé with a brltty 3.9. Do not ask me why ! but only because that the pc that still have a serial port has an obsolete red hat 8 system on it.
