You could also consider the one from Perkins. I bought one and use it with my Mac. It simulates an old Freedom Scientific Powerbraille but uses a usb adapter instead. If you plan to use Jaws 11 though don't bother with this display as it won't work with Jaws 11. If you do consider this route however it is the chapest 40 cell unit on the market right now at $2495.
