[Blindmath] brailliant braille display and windows xp

[Amanda Lacy]

I've used a Brailliant 40 with XP for years with both JAWS and NVDA. With 
the old drivers it was always a pain to get it working on any new machine. 
The newer drivers are much easier since I don't have to manually select the 
USB port.
