I forwarded information to this list several times requesting
information in order to help out the brltty list (the bralle display
software for unix/linux) and they say that most of the work is done
for the mac, except a display driver of some sort, will you possibly
colaberate with them?
I will forward the email conversation to this list one more time.

I have been doing some early work with braille terminal display on
a Mac
here is what I have found so far using a BrailleNote BT.
The BrailleNote BT uses serial communications so you will need a
USB to
serial device.
I am able to trap and display all the spoken prompts and information
from the BrailleNote on the Mac using Zterm or simply opening up the
/dev device.
I can send, with limited success, text to the BrailleNote in braille
terminal mode. I have a support request in to Humanware to get the
technical specification for communicating with the braille terminal.
I need to find out how to trap the text strings that VoiceOver
reads so
they can be sent out to the BrailleNote.
The process or something similar should work for most other braille
displays including newer USB devices. Anyone who wants to send me
one is
welcome to do so. :)
