[nfbcs] USB A/B switch

[John G. Heim]

I don't use jaws but I do use a kvma switch with orca and a braille 
display. It works great. Often when orca stops talking, I can fix it 
because I still have braille. My braille display is plugged into the USB 
port on the kvama switch normally used for a mouse. So it switches back 
and forth  between the workstations connected to the kvma.

I don't think there is anything special about the hardware requirements. 
It should work. But it might depend on jaws.
