Kevin; How do we know what the voltage is of our cards. I never heard of voltage for a card. A cf card was just a cf card, type 1 or 2. How do we tell?

I would like to see someway of making the voltage not just limited to a 3.3 voltage card, I would also like to see support for cards that require 5 volts. The reason this is an important piece that needs to be implemented is, it makes the user have a broader choice when it comes to choosing a card they desire. And also for the users who had 5 volts cards, they were able to use it with their BrailleNote Classics and PK, but when they purchased the mPower or got a transplant, they were no longer able to use it, it esssentially became useless. I feel this isn't something that should of been done, when products get upgraded features should be improved, not taken out. This is a restrictionn from purchasing larger storage devices, because of the voltage limitation. It is hahrd enough to purchase a piece of equipment that cost 6,000 dollars and find you have a very small window of devices that will work with it. I hope this is something that can be implemented, even if it means that users who would like this functionality must ship their unit back to Concord or New Zealand to take advantage of higher level of capacity cards.
