Dear List,


Mario, very thanks your previous helps.

My wife buyed a serial cable the home old personal computer, in Debian 
12 BRLTTY 6.6 release works correctly the Focus 1 70 display after I 
turned on the /etc/brltty.conf file the serial port related line (the 
ttyS0 port related braille-device line).

Don't understand why not worked previous an USB cable the display with 
normal USB port.

BRLTTY in serial port mode supports the Focus1 display with typing the 
perkins keyboard any way?

What typing modes are supported?

What need me doing table level with development related if would like to 
BRLTTY supports hungarian language?

Basically, in Liblouis component hungarian language are good supported 
with computer braille, grade 1 both forward and backward translation, 
grade 2 with forward direction only.

Many screen readers use Liblouis I think with Braille typing related, 
for example I think NVDA and JAWS absolute sure.


So, the Focus display are will be a good fallback device when my Alva 
Satellite display are will break down in the future, me need buying only 
a serial to usb dongle.

Anybody known a recommend a guaranteed working beeper in terms of 
BRLTTY, with both display and braille input working fine?
I used to have a converter with a Prolific Pl2303 chipset, but 
unfortunately I can't find it anywhere anymore, it's lost. :-(:-(



Kind regards,


Attila
