I've also noticed some sluggishness when trying to read from USB devices whether or not the AC adapter is plugged in. I do like using my thumb drive for transferring data, however, even though it might be a little bit slower than the compact flash card. It's so easy to use with the PC as well as the BN.
I often use a thumb drive to listen to DAISY files. I don't ever have any problems with stuttering or stopping and starting even when the battery is very low. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Joseph Lee Sent: Tuesday, September 26, 2006 8:38 PM To: 'Braillenote List' Subject: RE: [Braillenote] USB THUMB DRIVES AND HARD DRIVES Diane and list, You don't have to have the mPower connected to the AC adapter. What I've observed is that it is wuite slow to read data on a USB storage device, such hard disk and thumb drive. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Diane Garrett Sent: Tuesday, September 26, 2006 6:32 PM To: BrailleNote List Subject: [Braillenote] USB THUMB DRIVES AND HARD DRIVES Hi, Everyone! For those of you who uses the USB Thumb Drives and Harddisk Drives, do they draw a lot of power from the BN being as they do not have a power supply of their own? Are there particular brands, or models, which draw more power than others? Should I keep my MPower plugged in when I get it when using these types of devices? Just exploring options before I do my transplant. Getting excited about it even though it's still two months away. <smiling Diane Garrett/Leader Yetta Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Phone: (918) 664-5731 ___ To leave the BrailleNote list, send a blank message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To view the list archives or change your preferences, visit http://list.humanware.com/mailman/listinfo/braillenote ___ To leave the BrailleNote list, send a blank message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To view the list archives or change your preferences, visit http://list.humanware.com/mailman/listinfo/braillenote ___ To leave the BrailleNote list, send a blank message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To view the list archives or change your preferences, visit http://list.humanware.com/mailman/listinfo/braillenote
