Hi Brenda and list,
Your new disk drive will work nicely with your BN. One is able to read
files right from the disk should they wish to do so. The only limitation
to the drive is one needs to keep it plugged into the 110 outlet in order
to use it. I usually copy files from a disk onto my BN, then I take my
unit wherever I wish to read my document. I sometimes leave my disk drive
on my table and plug it into the BN to transfer more files. I also use my
drive to transfer files from my PC onto floppy disks, then place these
files onto my BN. My only caution to you is don't allow your system to
format disks. If you have the ten meg disk in there, it cannot be
recovered as such ever again by the BN and disk drive. Format any 1.44 meg
disks on your PC.
Take care!

Thanks for taking the time to help me refresh my memory. I took some
programming years ago but couldn't remember exactly. I hope my questions
helped others here who might just stay in lurk mode most of the
time. Here are some assumptions I've made about this unit. If I want
files relatively safe, I store them on my flash disk, not the keysoft
one. I always empty the trash and free up data space immediately after
dealing with my emails and before I go online again. Why is it when I
delete a book or something, there is no data space to free but with email
there always is?Is it because email goes to the keysoft disk?
That way my system should stay pretty clean. Are those good
assumptions? Thanks. By the way I'm buying that nice disk drive from
Pulsedata. Most of my book collection is in ascii on those 3.5
disks. Will I be able to read them with this unit? I'm hoping that when
I connect the disk drive, it will treat it like another disk and give me
options to choose. Am I right? Thanks in advance for your help.
