Hi again Terry, A few corrections. First, it should have said "ActiveSync Installer Version 4.0x", and second, the PC card slot is on the right, NOT the left. Sorry about that, but I was typing rather quickly, didn't go back to edit, and was probably thinking about something else relating to this post being on the left side, although I can't think of it right now. Third, I'm pretty sure you would also need ActiveSync itself running to use the Installer, and the ActiveSync program is found on the CD-Rom that came with your BN. Lastly, in a part of the post where I was putting stuff in parenthesis, I said, "if you're using the Super Disk Drive". I now realize that this could've been misleading, as to make you think that any drive could be used. I don't personally use one, so I don't know if this is the only one that can definitely be used, but in the User Guide, it says the only one that's been tested and proved to work by PDI is the PCMCIA Travel 120 SuperDisk Drive (made by Accurite Technologies, Inc., according to the User Guide). Anyway, it says that this is the only one that should be used with the BN, so if you want one, you can get them at PDI, and, I'm sure, other places, although I don't know where. The purpose of me saying "if you want to use the SuperDisk Drive" was to differentiate between using, say, a memory card. I don't know what you interpreted it as, but I just wanted to make all this clear. HTH. Maria
