The Braillino 20 has no USB interface, so using -dusb: will not work.

I have contacted Handy Tech to double check about the ID 0XE3, but as
expected, they have never produced a device with such an ID.  The
Braillino 20 should have ID 0X72.

I am suspecting data corruption, or misconfiguration.  Do you perhaps
have several devices connect to serial ports on that machine, and
accidentally picking the wrong port?  The identification protocol of
Handy Tech devices is not very verbose, so there is a certain chance of
detecting random data from other devices as unknown IDs, which I think
is what you are seeing right now.
