[nfbcs] Anyone using Focus 40 Blue with Linux

[Tami Jarvis]

Hi, all!

I'm doing my regular assistive tech research, this time with the 
possibility of being able to buy something on the horizon... First item 
is a modern braille display with features and navigation and all. It 
also needs to be useful for computer/science/math, etc., both for 
reading and for keyboard input.

So I'm leaning towards the Focus 40 Blue which appears to have what I am 
looking for, at least if I were using Windows and JAWS. Since it's a 
Freedom Scientific product, and since FS does JAWS, it's natural that 
there would be tons of info about that on their site!

While I haven't heard anything re: the Focus 40 Blue on any of my 
Linux-specific lists, this could very well mean there is no problem... 
Or that people are using other things. A quick and dirty internet search 
(or a bit more intense) also reveals no information about the 
relationshp between the Focus and Linux... Which could mean there is no 
issue or that if you're not using JAWS/Windows, you should shop 
elsewhere. I am so confused! /lol/

Anyway, if anyone has any info or better yet experience, I would love to 
hear it!

Thanks in advance.

Tami
