I had the unfortunate chance of testing a pacmate braille display
out and found it an incredibly poor system. not only were the cells
rather shockingly poor but the connection here was rather faulty. the
design could be so much better.
it is slightly better on a focus 40. the alva displays are a real
dream and I would love to own one but somehow I dont think I'll be in
the position to get one for a long time to come

Yep I recall I'd have problems with this too. I plug my PM 40 cel
into the mac and basically it just loses and regains the connection
every now and then.
It did feel loose and I was not sure exactly what to do about it.
It was not so intolerable that I didn't benefit from carrying it to
my classes. But I was happy to have an alva 540 traveler around my
dorm.

hi does anyone use a pac amte display with a macbook or any
mac for that matter?
Do you find the connection extremely lose when fitting the cable
into the pac mate?
a representative of freedom scientific says to me
Hello Will, no normally I would expect the connection to be secure to
the extent that a slite knoc, wouldn't dislodge the connection. You
may
need to get the display checked.
but this is not right as a slight knock disconnect the display for
me, that can't be right
I want to experience braille more with the mac if i can but am
concerned it is not a snug connection with a pm 20 cell
