I haven't tried it since Leopard, so I couldn't say, however the driver interface meant that it was extremely limited anyway. I have since taken to the song and dance of configuring VMWare to pass through my USB braille device (BrailleNote Apex) to a Linux VM, and then pulling and re-plugging quickly enough after starting a VM for it to be detected and used by Linux. Until VMWare pull their finger out and provide a proper way to interface serial devices, either to physical or software via sockets, this will have to suffice. But it's worth it. Not only is Linux a great way to get and install software, but it's trivial to ssh back into the Mac to get what CLI support is available from that platform (which I must say appears to be in a very sharp decline in recent times).
