[BRLTTY] chicken and egg situation

[David Pankhurst]

Hello - I have a question about developing Braille readers - how does 
one start?  It seems that without the device, there can be no driver, 
but without the driver, how can one design/test/configure the device? 
For example, if I was to develop a new Braille device, what could I 
do personally to set up a test bed to connect to a reader (for 
example, NVDA under Windows)? And how could I take it far enough to 
be real driver for brltty? One thought would be the creation of a 
generic 'superdriver' with all the best/ultimate features of the 
different readers, and which a new device may pick settings from like 
a menu - is that possible? Any help would be appreciated.
