[BRLTTY] question about Jaws support

[Henk Abma]

Hello,

Just curious, why would you want to do this?

Most older braille displays don't have 64-bit drivers, so your solution, 
if possible, would only work on 32-bit windows. If you just want to 
experiment, you could just as well use JAWS 10 or earlier, which don't 
require the driver being signed.

With kind regards,

Henk.
