Don't know a source to buy them so you might have to make them. Macs will have the same problem that current PC's have: Aple stopped putting serial ports on Macs around 1999. In summary, its possible to run speakup on a Mac, but it isn't easy. Just like with PC's, you will need a Mac which still has a serial port. Unlike using a PC, you will also need an adapter to connect to the serial port.
