Yes, there are precompiled binaries of brltty for DOS. If you go to brltty's 
download page, you'll find names like brltty44.zip (i.e. brltty plus two 
digits). Those are the DOS archvies. brltty44.zip, for example, is for 
brltty-4.4. That's the latest one we have at the moment for DOS, but it should 
be fine for your PowerBraille.

Thanks for the reminder that we need to build DOS binaries for the newer 
releases. Maybe, also, we need to highlight better which platform each binary 
is for.
