Hello, I have just got an Index Basic going on my Mac.
Firstly I needed a USB to serial lead. I understand that there are 2 chipsets supported. I was lucky that one that I had for some time was a supported one. I had to find a Prolific driver and install it. It wasn't difficult. It generates a /dev/cu.usbserial device which you send the braille for embossing. Not sure if I needed the Index driver too but I installed it. I had used nfbtrans on a linux command line so grabbed that. However, it was not going to work on the Mac. There is a Mac patch copy floating about which I eventually found. This works OK but is limited. Then there is Louis a GUI accessible program. This works too. However, only with text files. RTF and HTML etc files just seem to crash and don't work for me. It does enable the translation of different braille tables. So check out nfbtrans if you don't mind working from the command line or Louis if you want a GUI interface.
