There's nothing confidential, as far as I know. It is possible that someone at
Baum has the technical specifications needed to enable a driver to be written
for BRLTTY, if the device isn't compatible with another display that is
already supported.

If the display has an options menu, is there a setting to change the protocol
to emulate another product?

Newer Baum displays can do this, but obviously, the Audiodata ones may lack
this capability.
