If you purchase an adapter from Radio Shack and make sure it is compatible with UK power systems, there is no reason it won't work. In fact, I know someone who bought an adapter from Radio Shack and used it for her Braillenote. I bet it was quite a bit less expensive that way than what PulseData/Humanware charged.

I'm taking my Braille Note, and purchased the UK adaptor from Humanware. I'm also taking the Super Disk drive. I'm not sure if this is still made, since Flash cards are more popular, but its the easiest way to transfer files back and forth to my professors. I'm wondering if anyone in the UK uses this disk drive, and if so, how you power it? I'm doubtful that a specific UK adaptor is made for it, since I don't think the drive is made anymore. But could I plug its 5 volt adaptor into a power converter without frying the drive or the BN? My second question has to do with email access. Does anyone know of an inexpensive dial-up service in England that I could use from various parts of the country, just for email? Thanks for any help.
