If you can find a usb to parellel adaptor, it will be better if supported but the keyspan will meet your needs. I don't know how to do braille graphics on the Mac though unless you use a windows app.

I just did my research and as I remembered, the Blazer has both ports. The first is a standard Centronix parallel and the second is a 25-pin female serial. So which should I get, a usb to parallel or a usb to serial adapter? Btw, that Keyspan sounds great. Also, it can braille graphics, so now I need to check out that translator that can handle them.
