I almost got one of those for my BN, but went for the extra gig instead. I'm glad I did! This means I can put the microdrive in the back slot of the BN and my wireless Ethernet card goes in a PCMCIA adapter in the side slot. Unlike Jim and some others, I haven't noticed any difference in the behavior of the wireless card depending on which slot it's in. This 6GB card should work fine in the PK. I'll see if I can find the exact page for its info, and if anyone wants it, I'll send it along. Write me on list or privately for the info.

I have a 5 gb microdrive which is all in one which, alas, can't be used on the pk but that will allow my old Braille Note to still have a good working life. Mary Ellen Earls Remember!

(Smile) So, when saving a document for instance, it can take a while for the drive to finish doing what it has to do. Oh, and the BN doesn't read the available space exactly right, but if one is paying attention, one can calculate how much space is left. One good website to get these drives is: www.compuplus.com Mine also came with a PCMCIA adapter, so I can use it in my BN's side slot or a laptop. One other thing, this is a type II card. The regular CF cards, the ones with no moving parts, are type I.
