There are two types of sd cards: "normal", and "high-capacity". (Note that I made up the "normal" name; they are just cards that are not high-capacity). When you see "sdhc", it stands for secure digital (sd) high capacity (hc). The bn can handle normal cards just fine, but it cannot use hc cards. About 4gb is the max for normal cards; normal cards go from 0 to 4 gb, and sdhc cards go from 4 gb to 32 gb, so a 4 gb card could be either type, but above or below that you know which one it has to be. This is why your 128 card, which is a normal card because it is below 4 gb, works fine but your 8 gb card, a high-capacity because it is over 4gb, does not. I hope this made sense.

Have a great day,
Alex

Subject: [Braillenote] BrailleNote and the SD Card

Hi all,

What is the maximum capacity SD card that the mPower can handle?
I have an SD card that is 128MB, and a second that is 8GB. The 128MB works just fine, but the BrailleNote wouldn't recognize the 8GB card. Maybe someone could shed some light on this one for me.

Thanks!

A smile costs nothing but gives much. It enriches those who
receive without making poorer those who give. It takes but a moment, but the memory of it sometimes lasts forever. None is so rich or mighty that he cannot get along without it and none is so poor that he cannot be made rich by it. Yet a smile cannot be bought, begged, borrowed, or stolen, for it is something that is of no value to anyone until it is given away. Some people are too tired to give you a smile. Give them one of yours, as none needs a smile so much as he who has no more to give.
