There are always plans to support any as yet unsupported braille display. We
can only do so, however, if we can achieve two things. 

The first is access to the technical documentation for the device so that we
know what to implement. I did write to GWMicro some time ago for this but they
didn't answer. Perhaps I should try again. I've also heard that GWMicro is a
distributor for the Braille Sense, and that the actual manufacturer is another
company. Do you know if this is true, and, if so, who the actual manufacturer
is? Perhaps I'll have more success with them.

The second is access to the device so that we can test our work. This access
can be either a borrowed display or remote login (telnet, ssh) over the
internet to a system where the display is connected. What we don't have is any
money to go out and buy each new model as it comes out since this work is done
just because we like to do it.
