Oh Ok Well maybe I will have to look at this. Could I use a microdrive on my classic bn in the pcmcia slot?

What you are talking about is a thumb drive, a flash drive, or a jump drive. These devices are different in that they do not usually have the capacity that a microdrive has, nor do they have any moving parts, whereas a microdrive does. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Matthew Dyer Sent: Wednesday, October 19, 2005 4:42 PM To: 'Braillenote List' Subject: RE: [Braillenote] Reset loop; it's the micro drive Ok Just out of cirousity, but aren't microdrives usb? I have a micro drive and do not have an mpower so can not use it on my bn but can use it on both my desktop and laptop. Again I just want to sure on what you are talking about.

Interesting they're both Toshiba and Kingston because when we purchased ours we were told that there was some deal where you got whichever they sent and it would only be the packing that was different - so perhaps Kingston is Toshiba in different packing, or vice versa! Like you, I love CF cards because they're firm enough and large enough to grip. I have a half SD one in my phone and am not too ambitious with that one but guess, if I want to upgrade the BN (as I do) I'll be forced to use SD - and will probably love it! -- Carol [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Peggy Kern Sent: Wednesday, October 19, 2005 3:13 PM To: Braillenote List Subject: RE: [Braillenote] Reset loop; it's the micro drive Carol, I have both a Toshiba and a Kingston micro drive; my GPS stuff is on the Kingston and music is on the Toshiba. If I could just remember to always insert the micro drive before switching on, I could use it. But forgetting and getting locked up and then having to battle reset loops isn't fun, and it just might be easier to get additional compact flash and/or SD cards. I've never used or even seen an SD card or jump drive, but I love cf cards.
