Hi, I have a better idea: there is a list called National Alliance of Blind Students. There are quite a few Mac users over there, so I'll try and forward Tim's query to that list and maybe one or two students can answer him. BTW, the NABS is in ACB convention now, so I expect the earliest answer to come out around next week. I bet snow leopard supports Bluetooth Braille displays... Cheers, Joseph

VoiceOver is what displays the information on the display, just like Jaws would show text on a display; the display is not independent of the screen reader at all, so you need the reader (v o in this case) to use the display. Besides, v o is very good, though I have only semi-tested it on an iPad, not a full iMac with Snow Leopard. As to hooking things up, I think you just use usb or bluetooth. For bluetooth, pair the bn with the mac, activate activeSync, and there you go; start terminal and it should work. Of course, refer to the manual of your iMac for the steps involved. Does Snow Leopard support braille yet? I know iOS4 (for the iPod and iPhone) does, but I am not sure if that support extends to the full macOSX10.6 yet. Something to look into. Perhaps someone on the blindGeekZone list can provide better instructions.
