[BRLTTY] BRLTTY and Seika 40 display

[Michel Such]

Hi Sébastien,

At the moment, there are buitin drivers for HandyTech displays and 
FreedomScientific Packmate.

But all this is very new, I guess there will be others.
Some displays seem to work fine thru brltty, but I have problems with this 
Seika.

I also have a problem with my office Braillex El 80 2d which does not seem 
to even be recoghized.

Hello Michel,

Just out of curiosity: for which devices does NVDA have builtin
support ?

For accessing the braile display and the keys present on braille device,
nothing special is required from drivers, so they all have the same
degree of usability.
The only part that requires driver co-operation is the one involving
packet-level communication, which is seful e.g. for implementing file
ransfer protocols.

Nice to see NVDA uses BrlAPI !
Sébastien.
