in 1979 Telesensory came out with the Versabraille computer. Not only did
it have a Braille display, but it use a standard cassette to store
information. It connected to an almost computer called the Ampro Bookshelf
Computer.
Boy that was a while back...

Anybody remember the BrailleMate? That was the first unit I remember that
had a memory card. As I remember you could buy a 1 meg flash memory card
for it for $1000 in 1991.
