Brenda, The bn treats the storage card and compacked flash card, which is what the card is called when plugged into the back, as extra drives. Whether you can read them on a pc depends on whether you have the document or file in text or braille format, and remember, on the bn you have keyword braille and plain braille. If you have a braille translation program on your computer, you can probably read plain braille files. I don't know if there's a braille translation program available for keyword braille from pdi, or if you must translate. hth > ----- Original Message ----- >From: Brenda Mueller <[EMAIL PROTECTED] >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Date: Sat, 27 Dec 2003 00:17:22 -0500 >Subject: [Braillenote] Those extra memory cards:
