Um, well, I feel a little foolish. It hadn't occurred to me to look at
the supported Braille displays list in the updated help file. Amazing
that the updates came about exactly a day after I purchased the Focus
40 Blue. Whew!

 Hi all,

 Everything seems to be going well with the new Snow Leopard update. However, 
 I just ordered a Focus 40 Blue Braille display, and then realized it wasn't

 that,  there will be support in the near future. Anyone know if there's 
 specific support for the Focus 40 Blue in this new Os x release?

 Thanks,
 Teresa

Hi Teresa,
Congratulations on using your Focus 40 Blue. I'm still trying to have the 
Commissin purchase a Handytech Braillino for me. I wonder if the BrailleNote 
Mpower will work being that Snow Leopard was just updated. Hmm, I should try 
that. Have a great day!

Hi, Alison,

Basically, it seems that only direct USB and Bluetooth displays are supported. 
For example, my Braille Lite is not supported, even with a USB-to-serial 
connector. (I even installed the drivers for the adapter, and it works with 
ZTerm, so I can transfer my files).

Here's the Braille Note-like stuff that's supported:

*** Excerpt from VO online help:
Humanware
BrailleConnect 12 (Bluetooth)
BrailleConnect 24 (USB and Bluetooth)
BrailleConnect 32 (USB and Bluetooth)
BrailleConnect 40 (USB and Bluetooth)
BrailleNote Apex BT (USB and Bluetooth)
BrailleNote Apex QT (USB and Bluetooth)
Note: VoiceOver supports only the navigation keys on this display.
BrailleNote mPower BT 18 (Bluetooth)
BrailleNote mPower BT 32 (Bluetooth)
BrailleNote PK (Bluetooth)
Note: VoiceOver identifies this display as Humanware BrailleNote mPower BT 18.
***End excerpt
HTH,
Teresa
