Hi Karl and Maria,
Thanks a lot for the information. I'm glad to hear that the
compatibility is so open! It's not often something you get with blindness
technology! < grin >
Good work PulseData on that one. Thanks again for both of your
help.
Jennifer

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.
