----- Original Message ----- From: Richard J. Smith To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, February 11, 2014 4:36 PM Subject: Digital Talking-Book (DTB) Cartridge Cable Good news for BARD users! The Library of Congress is introducing a new accessory—the digital talking-book (DTB) cartridge cable to facilitate the use of DTB cartridges with a personal computer (PC). The accessory connects a digital talking-book cartridge to a universal serial bus (USB) port on a personal computer (PC). The cable is three feet long with a standard USB type A plug on one end and a USB type A socket and plastic molding−conforming to the “D” shape of the cartridge−on the other. This molding assists in the alignment of the cartridge with the USB socket upon insertion. When connected to the PC, the cartridge will be available as a removable storage device (a Microsoft Windows PC user will find this under “My Computer”). A user may then transfer DTB files from the PC to the cartridge for playback on the digital talking-book machine. Users may find the cables useful when duplicating files downloaded from BARD onto cartridges. Wolfner Library hopes to have this available for registered BARD readers this month. Richard J.
