No chance!

No! It comes with Orca, but without the needed accessibility mechanism; and there's no braille display. All 
you hear is 
"Welcome to Orca!" when you try to start Orca, and you don't have any braille support, neither in GUI, nor on 
the text 
console - if there's one at all.
So the only solution is to install a text only Linux, but with only 128MB RAM it might be very slow as well.
