Hi James, welcome to the list. From what I've read, Leopard will support the
Pacmate Braille displays both at installation/update time and during your
mac sessions. I was hoping that my BrailleNote mPower would be supported,
but this is not the case, at least for now. Hope that helps, and once again
a very warm welcome to you.

Subject: [macvoiceover] Braille support within Leopard
hello all.
I am a just on your mailing list about the Mac i.e.
macvoiceover.
I have been very interested in Mac's for a very long time
but they have never been Accessible to me.
I have been using a PC for well over 20 Years
But the Mac has always hold a interest in me.
I am a Deafblind person so I would not be able to use the
voiceover with the Apple Mac can not hear it, but I have read a time ago
that Apple was going to add Support for Braille displays with the new
Leopard.
I have a number of Braille displays a PowerBrailler 80 and a 40
but these are for the peripheral ports.
The Mac only use USB or FireWire I have a PacMateBX420 I hope to use
the Braille display to access the Mac on the USB.
I have no sight what so ever so Braille is a must.
I am thinking of buying the New iMac with 20-inch, 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
2GB memory and 500GB hard drive.
But May I ask Please do you think that the new Leopard will
give good support for Braille users or am I just fooling myself here.
I now that it is only a few days before Leopard comes out.
and We all with now sooner or latter.
I have very little knowledge of mac's operating system but will
learn as I go if it has good braille Access to it.
I have been on the apple site and there is so very little info about this.
I believe that we all are in the same boat here But Just thought I would
ask.
Sorry for going on a bit.
all the best to you
Yours
James
