Hi Anne and list: Anne, I do need to make a correction to your statement here. I'll explain some of the internals of the BrailleNote.
The flash disk which comes standard as 16 mb, is the best place to store files as all data here will be retained no matter what type of reset you perform. This can also be upgraded to a 48 mb chip. The RAM is divided into two parts which by default, are half and half. These parts are the KeySoft System Disk and the program memory. When you save a file on the KeySoft System Disk, the files are saved in the RAM. The reason why it is not recommended that you save a file on the KeySoft System Disk is because when you do a 456 reset, everything in RAM is lost. There is a separate 32 mb chip, which is ROM. This means that the information can only be read, you can't write to this memory. On the chip is the Windows CE operating system and your original version of KeySoft. I hope this helps folks understand the memory allocations in the BrailleNote a little better, as I know there has been some conversation on the list regarding this in recent times.
