: Hello Martha, : The difference between a sd card and a cf card, or as you asked, : the secure digital and Compact flash card, is that a sd card is : much smaller in size. : The sd cards have a switch on them that you can lock the : information so you do not write over them. : They both do the same thing, which is allow you to save files on : them. : As far as saving your bible on one of these cards, I have a 1 gb : sd card, and I have three different bibles on it, so you won't : have a problem. I would definately suggest saving it to one of : these two cards. : As far as transfering files from the pc to the braillenote, I do : not use activesync, so I can't help there, but what I do, is I : have a card reader attached to the usb port of my computer, and I : just insert the sd or cf card and copy a file straight on to the : card. : Hope this helps, : Robert----- Original Message ----- : >From: "Loescher, Martha" <[EMAIL PROTECTED] : >To: "Braillenote List" <[email protected] : >Date: Tue, 25 Apr 2006 08:36:48 -0400 : >Subject: [Braillenote] RE: Questions ] : : >Hi Joseph! : : >I have several questions, and hope that you can give me simple, : >down-to-earth explanations. : : >First, what is the difference between a "flash card" and a "sd : card?" : >They seem to be about the same thing, but not sure quite what the : >difference is. : : >Next: Would you be able to tell me how to download a file from : my PC to : >my BrailleNote M-Power?
