Support for the Braille Star 40 USB chip (GoHub or FTDI, depending on your model) was added to BRLTTY a very long time ago back in 2002. It is one of the first displays that was natively supported by the user-space USB implementation of BRLTTY. That is a long winded way of saying: Yes, the Braille Star 40 should actually be supported out of the box without any problems. I have used it personally roughly 14 years long, and mine is still perfectly functioning, but sitting in a drawer and waiting to take over in case of an emergency. I can only report about it working on Linux though, have never tried to run BRLTTY on the Mac. -- CYa, ⡍⠁⠗⠊⠕ | Blog: <https://blind.guru/> GitHub: <https://github.com/mlang/> .''`. | Twitter: @blindbird23 FaceBook: disyled : :' : | SoundCloud: <soundcloud.com/mario-lang> `. `' | YouTube: <youtube.com/user/mlang23> `- _______________________________________________ This message was sent via the BRLTTY mailing list.
