Did I say mb? It should be 64gb, sorry about that. The max sd
card size supported for storage is 2gb, though some 4gb cards
work; the key is to have a card that does not say "hc" or "high
capacity". The max size for upgrades is indeed 512, and the
minimum is 64; anything outside the rage of 64-512mb will not
work.
Have a great day,
Alex

The message below references CF cards up to 64MB. How large an
SD card witll
the BN accommodate? Also when upgrading the firmware of the BN,
am I correct
that one must have no larger than a 512MB CF or SD card before
this will
work?

The drives exist, but not many work with the bn; I am not sure of
any that
do, but I know that some will because I got one to work once.
Unfortunately, it was just a cd drive in a hard drive enclosure
so it did
not really have an official brand, and I had to reset before it
would be
recognized. As to a bunch of disks being cheaper than a cf card,
I am not
sure about that. One 32 or 64gb cf card can hold a LOT; one cd
holds only
700mb (.7gb).
So even a 32gb card holds about 47 CDs by my quick math. It may
be cheaper
(depending on many factors) but it will be a lot more convenient
to store
things on one card than on 40 disks that you have to label and
keep track
of, especially when you cannot put braille labels right on the
disk itself
like you can a cf card.
Just my opinion.
Have a great day,
Alex

Subject: [Braillenote] BN & External CD ROM
Hi List,
I just posted a question about increasing the size of the Braille
Note's hard drive. If that is not possible, another idea for
storing my
files might be CDs. I figure buying a bunch of CDs would be
cheaper than
buying multiple compact flash cards or storage drives that fit
into the BN's
USB port.
However, that thought brought up 2 questions for me. Fist, I
know the BN doesn't have its own CD ROM, so is there such a thing
as an
external CD ROM (for example, a device that hooks to a computer
or pda via a
USB cable). And second, if such CD ROMs exist, has anyone been
successful
in using one with their braille note?
I'd love to hear your thoughts on the matter. Thanks so much.
Lauren
