Hi Tom, Unfortunately my experiences with the super disk have been less than stellar. It often takes a good five or six tries to be recognized by the bn, and often, if it is inactive for awhile, the bn will not recognize it anymore.
My best suggestion is that you buy some sort of card reading device, which is more universal and more reliable.
