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.

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 -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Adaptive Information Systems, LLC Sent: Saturday, January 07, 2006 12:37 AM To: Braillenote List Subject: RE: [Braillenote] Connecting to the internet wirelessly 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.

IR100M series is compatible with most Centronics-B (36 pins) parallel printers that their Microsoft Windows printer driver use LPT port with proper driver. If the printer or multi-function model can not work with Microsoft Windows LPT port or DOS, IR100M series will likely not work.
