What exactly is it that you are trying to achieve?  BRLTTY can certainly
be configured to find braille displays on various different buses.

@Sherab: You should be able to just copy the default brltty.service from
systemd to /etc/systemd/system/brltty-other.service, and modify the
file.  Just make sure you have a different PID file name, and adjust the
parameters passed to BRLTTY as needed.  You should now be able to start
a new instance with systemctl.
