SAM Driver for KTS Brailloterm

This is a fully functional SAM driver for use with a KTS Brailloterm (displays manufactured before 1996).

This driver uses the WIN32 Comms API to talk to the Braille display so will work in Windows 95 and NT, there is no 16-bit code.

The Brailloterm must be set to serial communications in order to use this driver. Consult the manual for details.

Please report any bugs to Dolphin. If it crashes please tell us the crash address and registers etc, from the crash message box, also report the driver version number (check with explorer - file properties).

Features
Supports multiple units simultaneously.

Restrictions
If the driver is not started within ten seconds of the Braille display being turned on, the driver will not work. This is due to difficulties in the communications between PC and Braille display. The only known remedy for this is to turn the Brailloterm on within ten seconds of the screen reader starting.
