I believe so. They do give a phone number for ordering. - Original Message - From: DJ DOCTOR P djdoct...@att.net To: PC Audio Discussion List pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Monday, April 05, 2010 4:16 PM Subject: Re: Cables for NLS cartridges and the BARD Talk web site [wasRE:Wheredo you download updates to your digital talking bookplayer?] Hello Tom, If it's a standard USB flash drive, it will plug right in to the USB port that's located on the right side of the player. I was the one that said that you'll have to wait a month to get the cartridges from AMERICAN PRINTING HOUSE. I called them Friday morning to place a credit card order for 2 of them. I was told by the rep, that they were on back order. She tried to talk me in to placing the order anyway, but that didn't make any since to me to charge that to my credit card then having to wait a month before I have them in my hands. If this other website that I've been hearing about has them in stock, I will get them from there. Only one question though, do they take credit card orders over the phone? My best regards.

This will have a full sized male connector at one end and a full size female connector at the other end. Note that due to the housing on the NLS cartridge, many USB extension cables aren't going to work, and you may find it best to buy a cable from ILA, APH or Perkins especially designed to work with the NLS cartridges.

Re: Cables for NLS cartridges and the BARD Talk web site [wasRE:Wheredo you download updates to your digital talking bookplayer?]
Okay..here's the deal on the drive: one end is rounded (it apparently needs to be square)..in any case, no matter which way I turn that drive, it _will not_ go in! As far as I can tell, there's no cap or anything over it! Do I have some kind fof an odd-balled drive? Tom Kaufman (aka Tomcat) P.S. I ordered my cartridge on line! Probably should have called first as I didn't know they were on back order! - Original Message - From: Christopher Chaltain chalt...@gmail.com To: 'PC Audio Discussion List' pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Monday, April 05, 2010 6:24 PM Subject: RE: Cables for NLS cartridges and the BARD Talk web site [wasRE:Wheredo you download updates to your digital talking bookplayer?] Tom, what do you mean it doesn't fit the machine? There's a USB port on the right hand side of the machine, it's about half way to the back, right behind the headphone jack. When the machine is shipped, it'll be covered with a small plastic cap. The cap just pops off, and the flash drive should plug into that port with no problem. A flash drive can only go in one way, so if you're having trouble with it, you may want to flip it over. Good luck. -- Christopher chalt...@gmail.com -Original Message- From: pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of Tom Kaufman Sent: Monday, April 05, 2010 4:29 PM To: PC Audio Discussion List Subject: Re: Cables for NLS cartridges and the BARD Talk web site [was RE:Wheredo you download updates to your digital talking book player?] Hello Christopher and list: Well..my trials and tribulations continue: I had hoped to get a Kingston flash drive (they didn't have one)..so Mom picked up one called a PNY..however..it doesn't even fit the machine!

Hi Tom. Sounds like you got a USB drive like I have. Grab each end of it, and gently pull. You should get one part that protects the USB port, and the other part, which is the drive. Also, grab the ends so you have the flat part between your fingers. Hope this works for you. By the way, APH won't have the cartridges in stock until the end of May, at least that's what I heard. Don't work too hard. Kevin Minor kmi...@windstream.net To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: pc-audio-unsubscr...@pc-audio.org
