Hi, Steve. Unfortunately, you can't find those cards anywhere.
I think this was my first frustrating day with the braille note. If we had
wireless like the packmate, I could have chosen from a number of cards and
they were not very expensive. I don't want to pay 150 dollars from pulse
data just so I can see how browsing on the web and receiving and sending
e-mail works on the bn. I have a computer for that, but just wanted to
familiarize myself with it in case I travel.
There are other PC/MCIA network cards that are not wireless that are only
around 45 dollars, but, evidently, they don't work with the bn. And you
can't find any USB to infrared converters at any local computer store either.
They all have gone to wireless or blue tooth.
Very frustrating to be stuck with technology that is a couple years out of
date.
I am assuming that pulse data will do something pretty soon since the new
packmate has wireless and can use many more regular network cards. but it
is frustrating nonetheless.

Hi Paul,
I haven't had any luck with any of the network cards I tried. I think
the only kind you can use are the CF ones made by Socket technologies.
