Although replacing the internal chip is probably possible, I certainly would not recommend it, considering that hw won't help you if you break something doing it. That's certainly something else that would be nice, replaceable memory chips and replaceable batteries.

Hi Lauren, Well, unless a new hardware version comes out, there's no way to increase the Flash Disk space except to get a larger replcement that would fit the Flash chip port inside the BrailleNote. I personally recommend a CompactFlash card (up to 64 GB) and/or an SD card (not High Capacity; up to 2 GB, and in some cases, up to 4 GB). You see, Flash is an internal thing (the 120 MB is how BrailleNote reports sterage; for us, it's 128 MB; I'll explain why upon request).

I've noticed it's only about 120 MB, which means the amount of files I can keep on it is small compared to my desktop computer. >I will admit I have no experience with other pda's, and perhaps it is more fair to compare the braille note to other pda's rather than to my desktop computer. But I often use my braille note and computer for similar tasks, so I just expect to be able to store similar amounts of info on them. >Is a hard drive of only 120 MB pretty normal for a pda? And, is it possible to increase the size of the braille note's hard drive. If not, I guess I can just buy multiple compact flash disks on which to store my files. >Thanks. >Lauren >___ >Replies to this message will go directly to the sender. >If your reply would be useful to the list, please send a >copy to the list as well. >To leave the BrailleNote list, send a blank message to >[email protected] >To view the list archives or change your preferences, visit >http://list.humanware.com/mailman/listinfo/braillenote ___ Replies to this message will go directly to the sender.
