Hi all, Do Focus 40 Blue braille displays work with the MAC? If they do as I think they do Could anyone tell me how to make My MBP detect the display when its plugged in the USB port? It won't detect the display either way ad I have tried everything I can think of. Since I really need the display to work so I can edit my papers for school I would appreciate if anyone could help.
Second Is it possible to play ogg files on the mac and if so what version of the software would I need to get for an MBP with Lion on it?
