Dear Shane,
You will probably by now have read Greg's message on the subject of
using index basic embossers with Mac. He sounds much more optimistic
than I was able to be. His understanding of these things is far
superior to mine so don't give up hope yet, and maybe have a word with
Greg. Do forgive me if I was in anyway incorrect in my respone or
discouraging without foundation.
With best wishes

Hi, Simon. Well, your info is very helpful, but not what I wanted
to hear. Thanks so much for sending, though. I was afraid somebody
might say it wasn't possible. I wonder how you're supposed to use
their IBraille product, which is supposed to be Braille translation
for the Mac? Hmmm. The guy at Sighted Electronics said he'd gotten
an Index to work with his Mac, but now I wonder. I tried everything
yesterday, and it just wouldn't even install. I look forward to any
further discussion of this topic.

Hello,
I have an index everest braille embosser which I use successfully
with Windows xp. I've e-mailed index braille to ask them whether my
everest could be made compatible with a Mac computer and they said
no. I seem to think that basic d embossers may be similar. hope I
am wrong for your sake.

I have not worked with the index embossers much and what I have
done has been with serial communications with them.

Hello, list. I am attempting, rather unsuccessfully, to install
a Basic D Braille embosser on my Mac. Actually, the Basic D is
on our network at the office. It works fine from the PC, but
alas, the Mac won't even install the drivers for it. I've gone
to www.indexbraille.com and downloaded the driver from there, and
I've also downloaded the full IBraille package. Neither of them
will install on my Mac, using Leopard. When I get to the point
at which it tells me how much room the installation needs, it
always says zero or something like "this program needs no
additional space." Can someone shed some light on this subject,
and is there another driver I can install that doesn't have
anything to do with the one at www.indexbraille.com or Sighted
Electronics? I have a feeling that these are bad disk images,
but this is just a really big guess on my part, and I do hope
that I am wrong. Any help would be very much appreciated.
