Braillenote PK and Linux

[Al Puzzuoli]

Hi Chris,

The Keynote PC refers to the old ISA internal Keynote gold cards.  If there 
were a driver for the serial based Keynote Gold synths, including the 
BrailleNotes, it would specify that it is for the Keynote SA; However, to my 
knowledge, no such driver exists as of yet.
