[BRLTTY] Trying to get the BRLTTY to work with NVDA on a Windows 7 machine

[Hlynur Hreinsson]

Hello again.
Well, it´s a version 3 of Seika, if that helps any :)
And I you are right about the COM 5 being a manufacturers virtual COM port.

Kind regards,

So it manages to open COM5 (which is non-standard, so I believe it's
indeed the manufacturer's virtual port), but it fails to discuss with
the device.  I guess I'll have to leave it to Seika experts.  Maybe you
should give precise details about the exact model you have.
