Correction, the compact flash card is a type 1. A type 2 card is two thick
to fit in the BN. The PCMCIA slot is a type 2 slot which takes a type 2
adapter to hold the type 1 compact flash card. Hope this is clear.

Hi Jennifer,
The card should be a Type II Compact Flash card, which fits in the back
slot. For the slot on the right, this can be used for PCMCIA cards, or
you can buy a Compact Flash adapter if you want to use Compact Flash cards
in the right side slot. Note that you can have two cards in at a time,
one in each slot. I use a Compact Flash card from Delkin, but some other
people on the list have said they use SanDisk cards. I don't believe the
brand matters, as long as it's a Type II Compact Flash card, in the case
of Compact Flash cards, and I don't believe there's a brand limit on the
PC cards as well. The BrailleNote should just treat them as other drives,
to which you can do the same thing as what you do with the Flash
Disk. The largest capacity I've ever heard of for a memory card is a 5
gigabyte microdrive, and this is supported by the BrailleNote, so I
wouldn't think there's a limit to capacity, unless there are larger memory
cards, in which case I don't believe they would be supported, as I've
never seen them mentioned in anything BrailleNote-related. You don't have
to format the cards, and they'll just be treated as the drives
CompactFlash (for CompactFlash cards) and Storage Cards (for cards in the
PC card slot), which will appear in addition to the Flash Disk and KeySoft
System Disk drives. HTH.
