Juan, It's S3aronda. Another accessory is the Western Digital Externaldrives. They work great with the mPower. Take care,

Ottawa Canada Dear Juan: When buying accessories for the BrailleNote it is important to buy ones on the list of supported accessories Humanware lists on their web site. Otherwise the accessory may not work with your BrailleNote. There are two supported wireless cards for the Mpower: Ambicom Wl-1100-CF rev 2.0 or 2.5 and Sandisk Connect Plus 128 MB wireless card with 128 MB memory, also a CF card. The Sandisk card was manufacture discontinued last I heard but some outlets like Tiger Direct etc seem to have them now and then. The Ambicom card is scheduled to be discontinued in the foreseeable future. To use the Mpower with a LAN, you need the Socket Communications Low-Power Ethernet card with ruggedized cable. It is the only LAN adapter card that is supported. The differences between the Classic and Mpower: Classic has a slower processor, 166 MHZ I think, a parallel, and serial port, a CF and PC/MCIA card slots (one of each). Built-in infrared port Mpower has: Faster processor, CF, SD and PC/MCIA card slots (one of each) Bigger flash disk built in Built-in FM radio Can stream audio from the web Serial, USB host, (2 ports), USB Client, Built-in Blue Tooth and Infrared ports. The Mpower also has a quieter Braille display but I am told its keyboard is noisier than the Classic. Will you have to dial a phone number to collect your e-mail? Yes if you are using dial-up. In this mode the Mpower's built-in modem connects to your phone line and dials out like any other modem and your phone line is in use while you are connected, so other people cannot phone you and you cannot use your phone for voice calls while the modem is online. If you have high-speed Internet service, No, you don't dial any telephone numbers with the Mpower but would connect with your high-speed Internet using either one of the supported wireless cards or the LAN adapter card. High speed Internet lets you use your telephone line even though you are connected to the net and is great. Hope this answers your questions. Brian -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
