wrote to the iPAQ mailing list:
|
|
"We (Nicolas Pitre and myself) have successfully ported BRLTTY to the iPaq
|
|
and tested the setup by interfacing with a BrailleLite 18 through the
|
|
serial port.
|
|
|
|
BRLTTY is a program that allows access to the Linux text-mode console
|
|
using various brands of Braille displays.
|
|
|
|
The BrailleLite is a small electronic Braille notetaker device which can
|
|
act as a small refreshable Braille display. It also has keys so I can not
|
|
only read but also type.
|
|
|
|
So there's just the iPaq and the BrailleLite device (with a horrible
|
|
cable in between) and that's all I need to fully use the console on
|
|
the iPaq (in text-mode). A pretty powerful setup, yet very small.
|
|
|
|
At the Ottawa Linux Symposium in July, using a network card in my iPaq
|
|
and borrowing the internet connection they supplied, I was actually able
|
|
to logon to the net and go read my E-mail, using ssh, pine and lynx!
|
|
|
|
It should be possible to duplicate this setup with other Braille display
|
|
models or other PDAs."
