No. JAWS would not be able to work under wine, because it needs to load 
a video intercept driver to intercept the image that gets displayed. 
Since wine relies on X to display the Windows application, this is not 
possible.

I guess so. If the system ports that the Braille display is connected to 
are accessible in Cygwin, I guess it should work. Note that you would 
have to close any Windows app that also used the display.

You can't, at least not that I know of. I remember hearing about how 
some bioses could be made to send their screen dumps out the serial 
port, but I don't know how this would be done, and what bioses can do 
it.

That's not easy to answer since you don't say which BIOS. Even when you 
see you need to look around to find the right selection. Ideally, the 
BIOS would be configured to interact over serial or USB ports to connect 
to speaking devices. Not all BIOSes support that option.

Maybe you could try Smart BootManager
http://btmgr.webframe.org
rather than modify BIOS to boot from CD ?

It's hard to say. You can only tell when you see it. It's usually 
servers and better PC with such motherboards.

I'm sure that some motherboards with Intel chipset support it, IBM as 
well as HP do too. I only work with servers so I can't say the same for 
their workstations and laptops.

Don't you have somebody to tell us what motherboard you have so we can
search about it's BIOS info on the net.

What exactly are you trying to do? Run Knoppix from a CD or install OS?

Thank you! My motherboard is Assustek's P4S333VM.
Is this supported? If so, how do I to configure? 
I need this feature for my rescue CD.

I checked Asus web site but the most critical pages seem to be broken or 
at least tyheir windoze is saying so. Both technical and BIOS manuals 
are missing.

Sorry I can't tell more looking at what's readable on that site.

Some more info about Smart BootManager from http://btmgr.webframe.org/:

Smart BootManager supports booting from almost all kinds of IDE ATAPI CD-ROM,
including PCMCIA CD-ROMs. You can let BIOS boot from C: only and assign a
password for it, then you can boot from CD-ROM with Smart BootManager easily,
while other guy couldn't. If you have a Laptop computer with a special PCMCIA
CD-ROM which BIOS does not support booting from, Smart BootManager can help you
make it easy!

Fedora Core 3 uses Gnome window manager and that comes with Gnopernicus
a screen reader which has a braille display option built-in
