If you want to stay with the mac, you might be able to get a trade in from 
the company that makes the braille display. They could possibly give you a 
good value per cell. The cell is a good portion of the cost, around $100 
or so.

I have tried simply plugging a cereal to usb converter into the display to see if it would work with the Mac, but the Mac didn't recognize that anything was there.   I suspect their would have to be software issues as well.  I hate to throw away this reliable and useful display, but I am at a loss in terms of getting it to work with modern equipment.  Any ideas out there.
