Re: Login to Mac mini with Braille display
Well, if just got a blunt reply from Orbit Research: “ Greetings from Orbit Research! As of now Orbit reader, 20 Braille display will not be automatically connected with Mac Book on the log-on screen when we turn on the Mac Computers.” So, I will carry on logging in with my Apple magic keyboard and then transfer to the Orbit Research 20!

Re: Login to Mac mini with Braille display
Space with low h, dots 2,3,6 toggles the input mode. Just keep pressing it to go through the modesIt has to be on, and connected. Did you say if you are connecting via USB or bluetooth?

Re: Login to Mac mini with Braille display
VoiceOver comes on immediately my Mac starts up so my orbit reader should connect. The display is set to 6 dot UEB BY DEFAULT. Is there a Braille command to change to 8 dot and tgen back to 6 dot? And is such a command executed while the orbit reader 20 is turned on? Off? Or when I’ve opened the Menu?

Re: Login to Mac mini with Braille display
VoiceOver has to be running before the braille display can do anything.On an iPhone, I can enter my passcode by switching to 8 dot brl.When does VO load on your Mac?If it is on before the password, I would think it would work. Perhaps time to call Apple?
