Microdribe, how awful! LOL! I meant, of course, microdrive,
which is a type II CF card.

I have a 6GB microdribe CF card, a type II. It works on the
mPower, so it must be a 3.3 volt card. It is made by Hitachi.

Terry,
Well, in most cases the higher the capacity the higher the
voltage. I think
once you go above 4 GB cards the voltage goes from a 3.3 to a 5
volt. It
also depends on what kind of cards they are, but in any event the
mPower
won't support 5 volt cards. I am sure you are able to find this
type of
information from the store you are buying the card from or it
should be
listed in the specification of the device.
Well, I hope this helps.
Kevin

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?

Dear HumanWare Staff,
I would like to make a suggestion regarding the voltage in the
CompactFlash
slot and the PCMCIA slot. 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.
Kevin
