Hi,

You could try Wine, a Windows emulator.  I think it only runs under 
Linux, BSD and other *nix operating systems, but I know the Mac OS X 
is based on BSD so it might work.  Also it requires X11 which is a 
GUI for the above operating systems.  As far as accessibility for the 
blind, I don't know much about it but I've not heard of anyone using 
Wine so I wouldn't plan on it.  Another option, albeit probably more 
expensive and difficult is to set up a virtual PC on the Mac.  You 
might need a PowerPC chip for that since the PC uses Intel 
processors.  You could then run Windows natively under an emulated 
machine.  Finally, you could see if there is a generic C program 
which lets you access the same functions as the hardware, then you 
just compile it for Mac and you're done.
