[BRLTTY] BrailleNote Apex USB: Solved

[Sabahattin Gucukoglu]

It would be nice if there was recognition in the usbserial infrastructure, that's all that's needed here.

Vendor: 0x1c71
Product: 0xc004

To get this, you must first activate USB client mode, then plug in.  Otherwise you get a generic identification for use with ActiveSync.

Works absolutely splendidly with the "ipaq" (PocketPC Serial Converter) driver.  Marvellous. :-)

There was some amount of complication getting my install of SynCE not interfering with this due to Hal autodetecting and starting (attempting) a ppp link with it.  However, the effect is brief.  At some point I'll see about writing some hotplug rules, although, to be honest, the novelty has already worn off on this box since I actually do need SynCE to work with this BrailleNote and it is simpler to use the serial adapter than fight this.  The speed difference is really not noticeable.  If, however, there is interest in streamlining this further, please, get in touch.

Cheers,
