Josh, I have an IBM 1 gb micro drive which works very well with the Braille Note Classic. It came with an adapter so it will work in your pc in the flash card reader. Now, let me warn you, I obtained this micro drive about 3 years ago so I have no idea whether these cards are even made any more as IBM has sold off its personal computer division. Also even if you could get one I am not sure you would get an adapter for it. The weird thing about that card is that it will not work in either slot of the mpower. I do not own a bookport so can't advise you anything about that machine. I didn't buy one because of the attitude of the person I talked to at csun, 2004. They acted as if they didn't care one way or the other if I was there or not, this, after I sat through their demonstration of the product. Mary Ellen Earls
