I have a full page slate that I think came from the braille super
store. I will have to make sure of that
. and I got a braille display from another person for $200 I think.
That is what they were selling it for and my friend got it for me for
Christmas. I was going to get it myself I think if she did not have.
It has been a couple of years so the details are sketchy.
It is a braille display that you use with a pacmate. So I am able to
hook it up with my pacmate.
You can get on some websites that blind people sell there things on,
don't remember the name,
blind barggens?
or another one that I see people doing this is on here, and i have
heard of people doing it on another webite called the zone. Try to
shop around, if your lucky,you can buy a slightly used one for a much
cheeper price.
