Dear Sue, It is because of the power requirements. Older 5 Volt cards will not work on the mPower. I think that Smart card is actually a 5 volt card. I believe that Ambicom card in question is also a 5 volt card.

One of our high school students first introduction was a bit frustrating. This is related to compact flash cards which decided not to work. Maybe other people have experienced this. She had a compact flash card which she had used in a braillenote running 5.1. We put the compact flash card in the unit and with the aid of the computer, transferred her files to the card. This card was recognized in the older unit. When we placed it in the new m-power running 7.2, we kept getting an error message. "Card cannot be recognized, press enter and reinsert card." I tried cards that worked on my m-power and they worked on her machine. When we examined the card it was a smart card. She had a sandis one which it recognized, so I copied all her files to it and she could open her documents. I then tried the card in my m-power and it didn't like it either. Then we decided to test her ambicom card, which she used in her unit running 6.0 before it was transplanted. Well her machine didn't like that card either. My m-power didn't like it either. I think she has another wireless card to try, so I hope it works. I know the smart card isn't on the list of cards, but why did it work in our old unit and not the new one?
