Gentlemen,

I am bklind, and have just installed Free-BSD on my pc. I would rather use it as my primary op. To get it installed, my wife  provided the 'eyes'.

I do not know of any other user of BSD in these parts. In fact, nearly everyone here, seem to depend on ms products.

I know of the 'Blinux' project, but unfortunately their software is designed to be used with  Linux, and as such not very reliable on a real Unix system.

I would be very greatful if you could give me some pointers on who might be able to help me to get a suitable driver, so that I could get my Braille display to work with Free-BSD.

Thanks very much.

Best wishes!

Lal Manavado.
