Some people on this list have managed to get the Alva BC640 working, but
difficulties were encountered with the firmware as Dave indicated. I can't
remember any mailing list posts about a BC680, but I could be wrong. I would
expect the 640 and 680 to have very similar firmware, however.

I read the list regularly, but I certainly don't remember everything that is
posted. I personally use a display from Baum that works very well with BRLTTY.
Alva have always had a very good reputation for the quality of their equipment.
I don't know whether this has changed at all following their merger with
Tieman to form Optelec, though.
