The way brltty handles things as of 5.0 is indeed different. That change was 
supposed to still support the older way, though, so the TechniBraille driver 
ought to still work. Maybe, however, it doesn't. Are you able to capture a log 
(instructions within my previous email) so that we can have a look at what may 
be going wrong?

I can convert the TechniBraille driver to use the new way, but, when doing 
that, it'd be a lot easier if I could have access to one for testing.

  Thanks for all that.

  I will test a soon as I will be back to my office. And tell
