Hi Lisa, I'll just add a few comments here. None folder exists on our system, but I think it's not a folder, although you can request it. It does have its uses for me. Before I had Braille Note, I used Braille and Speak, the classic version and others upto about 2001. One thing I did was build a book collection. Each book was stored in ascii text with each chapter stored as a file on that disk I purchased. Sometimes I scanned in my own books with reading Edge, corrected the scanning errors with Braille and Speak, stored the files to a disk,and that way I could use the portable disk drive to load books into Braille and Speak and read them. Now those versions can't open folders, but if I want to store something from Braille Note for Braille and Speak to read, when I've connected the super disk drive and when it asks for a folder, I just type "none" without the quotes, of course. Any files you put in that none folder on your disk that goes to the disk drive can be read by Br! aille and Speak. You see there was a portable disk drive you could buy with Braille and Speak. Now what happens if I want to read those old disks with my new super drive from Pulse data in my braille Note? After all, there is no routing information connected with the name of a file. I'm just requesting files from that disk. When it asks for a folder, I type "none" without the quotes, of course. Then I can read those old files on those old disks. Does this help? Consider this. If you were a sales person going to a convention to sell your products, loading files onto a disk to give away in the none folder would mean that even someone without a PC could read them with a Braille and Speak, an old one.
