Joseph, Question. Where do you go to install drivers to a
BrailleNote MPower? Like lets say that I need to install a
printer software that the BrailleNote does not have. Where and
how do I download them? Please write back.

Rich,
I've used the PPC/CE.net (Windows CE version) version drivers.

What device drivers have you used?
You see, I don't think that this is a good solution for average
users.
Since I have installed numerous drivers on a different note
taker, I think
it should be fairly easy. However, I don't feel that this is a
reason for
Humanware to not include drivers for newer wifi cards in a future
release.

Rich,
Yes, I've done it.

Ok, great theory, but have you done it?

David and list,
You can do it using ActiveSync (go to Tools/Add/Remove Programs).

How would you actually go about installing these drivers in the
first place
with assistance?

Dear list,
I'm here to present another hypothesis/theory. This time, it
concerns
3rd party hardware with BrailleNote mPowers:
Earlier, Dean Jackson clarified that you can in fact install 3rd
party
device drivers on your BrailleNote. This is due to the two
reasons:
one, because BraillenOte runs under Windows CE 4.2, 3rd party
hardware
that is designed for Windows CE 4.2 devices (Windows Mobile 2003
devices included) should work on BrailleNote; second, because it
has
ARM processor, any device driver that is compatible with ARM
processors (X-Scale, Strong ARM, etc) should work. So here is
my
hypothesis: because BrailleNote runs under mainstream operating
system
for embedded devices (except that it has KeySoft and although it
cannot run 3rd party software at this time) and because it has
mainstream processor built-in, users, with help from
manufacturers,
can instal 3rd party device drivers (not be confused with
software).
But, like other theories, there are challenges to this theory:
One,
that some people uses Classic, and there are hardly any
companies who
manufactures any Windows CE compatible hardware designed for
MIPS
processor, this will not work on Classic (and the fact that
Classic
will no longer receive updates after 8.0); Second, some people
still
use KeySoft 5.1 or earlier, meaning they cannot take advantage
of new
features that were introduced in Windows CE 4.2 through KeySoft
6.0
and above (these units still run Windows CE 2.12); Thirdly, many
on
the list uses PK, which is also based on ARM processor. In case
of
this, this theory should apply as well; fourthly, the driver
that is
installed should not require end-user intervention from the BN's
end
(meaning that the driver should install the driver package, not
the
accompanying software because BN, at this time, cannot run 3rd
party
software). If my theory is correct, than we don't need to worry
about
supported WiFi cards, since anybody can obtain a WiFi card that
is
compatible with Windows Mobile 2003 (on top of Windows CE 4.2)
and
install the device drivers (if it cannot recognize it at the
first
time) using ActiveSync. If it is false, that's fine (give us
explanation why it is false). Any input is appreciated. Thanks
for
your
considerations.
