braille displays

braille displays

[Scott Howell]

Folks,

I have a question about braille displays. First which displays work with 
Linux, second is it very difficult to get such a device working with 
Linux, third which software/driver etc. is best for accessing the 
device, fourth I assume any application which is console based will work 
with the displays, and finally what are the expected price to pay for a 
decent display and where should I consider looking for one if I choose 
to purchase such a device.

I wonder if anyone has ever tried to make Linux work on the DAVID
series,386, 486, and Pentium.
If anyone is wondering, the DAVID386, 486, & Pentium is a laptop made with a
Braille display & a Braille keyboard.
