Hi all,

A friend of mine is using an old Alva Satellite braille display which is still in very good condition.
So i installed NVDA and BRLTTY, because it seems that BRLTTY is supporting it.
As a serial to USB adapter we are using one from prolific, according to the device manager.
In the BRLTTY config tool i selected the alva driver and then the com3 port which is the one the adapter is emulating.
Though i seem to get no connection to the display.
Anyone knows why?
I have a very old Tieman Combi Braille 45 which was very picky about the serial to USB adapter.
There i had to use one from digitus.

Which are  the settings this old Alva needs to work?

Greetings and thanks,
Simon
