Comment 7 by jteh on 2015-01-08 23:15 Also, what connection interfaces does this display support? It's worth noting that you should be able to use this via BRLTTY with NVDA. |

Here is technical documentation written by the author of the JAWS driver.
The display supports USB and serial port interfaces. |

It can be used with either of these USB drivers or with this virtual serial port driver. Nothing else is required. |
@jkinnunen: Am I correct that these displays are supported by brltty? If so, I'm tempted to close this issue, since the displays have since long been discontinued according to #4750 (comment) |
In Windows, there are problems that prevent these displays from being
used smoothly with BRLTTY. As I no longer have one of these devices
myself, am not able to comment on the problems exactly.
|
In that case, I'm closing this as I proposed. |

Would it be possible to create a driver for the Caiku Albatross braille display? There are two models available, one with 46 cells and one with 80 cells. They can be connected via USB or serial port.
There is a driver for the BRLTTY package that might help in the development process. You can get more help also by contacting Teijo Burman teijo@burmanintk.fi, who has been involved in the development of the JAWS driver for these displays.
I have the 46 cell model of this display myself, so I am ready for testing the driver.
