Thanks, Jonathan. Although there's an issue with the 1GB card, do I understand you're still able to use it for everything else apart from loading programmes? (I seem to remember you were using one for your demo.)

There is a known issue with 1 GB SD cards and the boot loader, so it is important to have a smaller SD card for KeySoft installs. Obviously for those electing to receive the update on physical media, you will get an appropriate SD card with the software on it.

KeySoft 6.1 was unique, because before its release, customers could only install updates on their flash disks. That is to say your version of KeySoft that shipped from the factory would remain in ROM. BrailleNote would look for a newer version on the flash disk, and if it existed, would use that. This wasn't practical for version 6.1, because we upgraded the operating system. At the same time as we updated the operating system, we also took the opportunity to introduce new boot loading technology, which now allows customers to burn their own ROM image. This means that precious flash disk space is not being wasted on newer versions of KeySoft, and it also means that any major changes in the future, like operating system upgrades, will be much easier to do, provided of course that Microsoft allow us to do them electronically. Bottom line is that it is unlikely that any versions of Keysoft in the foreseeable future will require physical media. If they do, we'll make sure those who elect to download their updates aren't left out in the cold. Speicifically on version 7, the update will most definitely be doable electronically. You will need to do this from an SD card, so make sure you have one. We'll give people the info they need closer to the time.
