"refuses" is a pretty strong depiction. I wanted to try to solve the problem first if I could without doing logs but I have done logs in the past, as Dave can testify, and I am not at all adverse to doing them. I am rather busy right now and am preparing for a three-week visit from a friend. One can argue that it might have been solved more quickly with a log and this may or may not be true but the correct depiction of this in my opinion is that I at this time "declined" to do logs rather than that I "refused". Language matters! I may at some point submit a log to see if there is a better solution but I am not going to do so right this minute!

From the point of view of BRLTTY, an operating system provided serial port is a nice fallback, but not the default. BRLTTY actually natively talks to the various USB chips without needing the OS to provide a serial port. However, that said, I am suspecting there might be problems with this on Mac. Anyway, as long as Cheryl refuses to look at the logs, there is no way to know exactly. > At least on Windows when I connect this kind of device I get a COM > port, and my Braille driver doesn't see this as USB at all. Yes, this is how it also was on Linux many years ago. However, we didn't want to rely on the kernel supporting a particular chip. -- 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.
