Mary ellen, There really shouldn't be a reason why you couldn't record from the cassette player. Just put one end of the patch cord in the earphone jack and the other in the in put jack or microphone jack on the Mobile power unit. The recording can be as long as you have disk space for it. Now about reading cdrom drives we'll have to let the beta testers answer that one. but I have a question since we're all discussing the nls and Harry Potter and web-braille. there's a set of instructions on the web-braille site that tells how to setup your computer to receive web-braille. I wonder if someone could kindly send me those instructions? thanks so much in advance. Isaac
