Hi don,
I have used both since the braillenotes first came out an dsee no
difference in any tyupe.
I just bought a 1 gb CF card for under $80.00 an da 2 gb CF card for
$130.00, these are compact flash cards, not micro drives.
I also have been using the toshiba and kingston 5 gb micro drive card and
have no problems with either in not working or loosing data. I have dropped
my micro drive on the floor more than once, which is not recommended, but
it still works fine, and I either keep it in my side slot on my braillenote
or in the zippered pocket of the brailenote.
You can find the 5 gb micro drives for about $170.00 online, just do a
froogle serch for either kingston or toshiba micro drives.

Greetings to all, I am considering extending the memory of my
braillenote. It appears I can either buy a compact-flash card, or a
microdrive. I am looking for about one gyg or more. I would very much
like to know the advantages, or otherwise, of one system compared to the
other. can someone help. my instinct tells me to go for the
compact-flash with no moving parts, but surely that can't be the whole
story, otherwise nobody would buy microdrives. come in please.
Don Cooper.
