It isn's software that controls the volts you get, that is hardware.

Hi, the card is an IBM 1gb Microdrive which fits into a PCMCIA card
adaptor and goes into the right hand side slot. I've tried all the
remedies suggested on this list to no avail. I get the message "card not
recognized". I've also tried using it without the adaptor in the slot at
the back, it does fit, but again the message "card not recognized" is
displaned. I've tried inserting the card both with and without the machine
switched on. I'm on benefits and it's been hard to save up for the Mpower.
Although Humanware is supporting the other older machinery at present, it
can only be a matter of time before these come redundant (please don't
take this the wrong way, just my thoughts), so I try to upgrade when I
can.
as I'm sure I'm not the only person with this problem, hopefully Humanware
will produce a software upgrade so that I can use 5 volts rather than 3.3
because otherwise I'm going to have a redundant disk that I can't afford
to replace and theI look forward to any more suggestions but, I think Dean
is correct, the switch from 5 to 3.3 volts is the problem with my card and
I only wish a software upgrade could remedy that problem and I could have
5 velts again but in the Mpower rather than the 3.3 which clearly doesn't
work, otherwise I have a redundant disk I can't afford so replace and
don't have the equipment to do anything about the 77 folders and over 2000
files I have on the disk I can't do anything about.
Cheers, Steve

That's funny, as I have a PCMCIA card which I bought not long after I got
my BN in 2002, and it works fine in my mPower.

Hello Stephen,
The information given you below is correct. While many of the older
PCMCIA
cards require 5 volts, the BrailleNote mPower's PCMCIA slot will only
deliver 3.3 volts, which is what most cards on the market today require.
Therefore, if you have a compactflash card in that adapter of yours, I
would
suggest taking it out of the adapter and using the card in the
compactflash
slot.
If you are entitled to KeySoft 7.0, you should be able to download it,
along
with all relevant instructions from
www.humanware.com/7_0
making sure that you download the KeySoft image for the BrailleNote
mPower
and not for the Classic or PK platforms.
Regards,
Dean Jackson

I believe Dean or someone said that the voltage has changed in the
PCMCIA
slot. Could that be it?

Hi folks
Can amnone help me. I have a PCMCIA storage card which fits into an
adaptor
and then goes into the right hand side slot on my machine. It worked ok
on
both the old and the new classic models, but I've just received my
Mpower
But and when I insert the card in its card reader, I get a message
saying
"card not recognized". Although I have a card reader om my pc, this will
only read the compact flash cards that fit into the slot on the back of
my
Mpower. This type of card seems to work with no problems. Also, my
Ambicom
wireless card which needs an adaptor and goes into the right hand slot,
works fine.
Any solutions anyone?
Secondly, I was told by uhumanware I would get a free copy of KS.7.0. My
machine came last Monday and only has KS.6.21 on it. Can I download 7.0
on
to a CF card and then reclaim my SMA count? Jhat do you folks suggest?
I'm in the UK and deaf as well as blind. I've tried emailing
[EMAIL PROTECTED], which seems to be only Uuk but don't seem to be
getting any replies. I'm very frustrated
