One more point I forgot about the Sandisk SD/USB combo:

It comes in either 512MB or 1GB, and also comes with a key chain holder, which 
is very nice for keeping track of this tiny device.

Rogerslist


Hi Roger and All,

This is a great, very comprehensive list.  There are two items I would like to 
add to it.  They are:

1. Hitachi Compact Flash Microdrive, available in 2GB, 4GB, and 6GB models.  
These microdrives work wonderfully with the BrailleNote family.  They can come 
with a PCMCIA adapter, allowing one to use the microdrive in either slot of the 
BN/VN.

2.  SanDisk Ultra II SD Plus USB Card.  Model Number: SDSDPH-1024-901.
This is a SD card that can also be plugged into a standard USB port, in the 
manner of a jump drive or thumb drive.  Both methods of connection--SD and 
USB--work flawlessly with the BrailleNote family.

I own and frequently use both devices, so any questions are welcome.

HTH, and happy shopping,

Sarah

Hi Folks,

I haven't had much additions since November, but I have added some 
myself of items that do or don't work, so below is my list.

Please email me if you know of other products that work with MPower 
or classic BrailleNotes and let's compile a long list of items that 
work and also let me know which ones don't work too, so all of us 
don't waste our hard earned money.

turn on printer and then MPower they work great too.
