Hi, 1993 .......? mmm, sounds like being a hardware braille display? if so, no brltty required, only no-scroll in the append (lilo) Other solution shoudl be loging from dos into the linux box by telnetting, but then I do recommend more to use a Debian instead, since that distro is more commandline minded so more "blindfriendly" in my opinion.
