[Blindmath] Results of Using the Perkins

[Michael Whapples]

I haven't had any issues with getting BRLTTY to use my ALVA 544 on windows 
7, it all seemed to work as it should. I wouldn't have thought other 
displays would be much harder, but there again I don't have any official 
ALVA drivers installed which might conflict and so may make it simpler.

I don't know if I am so terribly inept, (I generally manage just fine
with all sorts of hardware and software setup), but I have never
managed to make braille displays work on Windows 7 by way of BrlTTY,
despite following instructions to theletter.
At least Ihavenot managed to get this working with Papnmeier 2d and
Seika (whatever they are called now).
Give it a shot, but it appears to be a bit tricky.
