----- Hi folks, I have had four or five queries both on and off the list regarding installing drivers for hardware devices on the BrailleNote via Activesync. I'm going to address them in this email. This is achievable via all BrailleNote platforms. Most drivers are installed by running an executable (exe) file on the PC while connected to Activesync and the appropriate files are extracted on the BrailleNote. We did this previously in the Development stages of the mPower with the Edgeport converter mentioned in the manual and the currently supported Wifi cards. However, since these drivers are now in the image, there is no longer a need to do this for these devices. The instillation of drivers or the operation of devices not supported in the image (ROM) are not supported by Humanware. Therefore, you will need to contact the product manufacturer if you run into problems with a driver instillation. Remember folks, we are only talking about driver installations here. Products that require additional software to be used will not be compatible with the BrailleNote and installations cannot have any requirement for user interaction, except popping up message boxes. Drivers must be compatible with ARM processors for PK and mPower users and the Myps processor for classic BrailleNote users.
