Tony Baechler replying to myself. Just a slight clarification. Neither the
Icon nor the Braille Plus have a Braille display. They have Eloquence
speech. I bought a docking station with a qwerty keyboard, better speakers
and longer battery life. Even so, the battery didn't last long. The full
package cost about $2,300.

There was a company called Levelstar who produced the Icon. It ran a 2.X
kernel. APH added Braille support and a Braille keyboard. They sold it as
the Braille Plus. I have one for sale if interested. It definitely runs
Linux and bash. I don't remember the kernel version. I'm thinking 2.2 or
2.4. I have no idea what the hardware is either. I bought it, tried it,
decided I didn't like it and there it sits. It's in almost brand new
condition and can play NLS BARD books. Write off list if you want to buy it.
