Sorry for the lack of response until now.

I'm still not able to install the libusb driver from
brltty-libusb-1.0.inf, and so, I've no luck using the Handy Tech
Active Braille on Windows. Today I tried whith 5.5, from the zip file
brltty-win-5.5-1-libusb-1.0.zip. When I right click the .inf file and
choose Install, I get the message that says there is no information
about signature in the inf file from 3rd party. I found an article
that mentioned doing:

  bcdedit /set testsigning on

but that didn't make any change. The article:
<https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/install/the-testsigning-boot-configuration-option>.

I did not disable BitLocker or Secure boot, but the bcdedit operation was
repported as successful.

So if Felix or someone else is able to use Active Braille with BRLTTY
on Windows, it would be nice to hear how you did it.

Thanks and regards, Lars
