Here is the list of supported braille displays: Alva BC 640 Alva 544 Satellite Alva 544 Satellite Traveller Alva 570 Satellite Pro Alva 584 Satellite Pro Baum PocketVario 24 Baum SuperVario 32 Baum SuperVario 40 Baum SuperVario 64 Baum SuperVario 80 Baum VarioConnect 24 Baum VarioConnect 32 Baum VarioConnect 40 Freedom Scientific Focus 40 Freedom Scientific Focus 80 Freedom Scientific PAC Mate 20 Freedom Scientific PAC Mate 40 Freedom Scientific PAC Mate BX420 (display only) Freedom Scientific PAC Mate BX440 (display only) Freedom Scientific PAC Mate QX420 (display only) Freedom Scientific PAC Mate QX440 (display only) Humanware BrailleConnect 24 Humanware BrailleConnect 32 Humanware BrailleConnect 40 Humanware Brailliant 24 Humanware Brailliant 32 Humanware Brailliant 40 Humanware Brailliant 64 Humanware Brailliant 80 Optelec Voyager 44 You would want to try out a Optelec Voyager 70 it might well work but it is not on the list likely because one was not provided to Apple at the time of development. There is no configuration needed for braille displays. Just plug them into a USB port and they should work if supported. Greg Kearney 535 S.
