call for braille device testing

[Beth Koenig]

Ok, I have a Braille Lite M40 on a tty0 serial connection that I will
be using to test. I have a copy of herd 3 and it boots so I know the
cd works. I am going to be testing it today.
It would be nice if the accessibility team could make its own live cds
to test updated scripts. Or can we use the daily build for that?
