Hi, The first week I found that it was a little cumbersome to get the cards in correctly. However I can get them in quite quickly, and I realized that the ridge is on the Memory cards. The Ambicom card is just bigger and has more of a ridge on the front. I had a Braille lite for a very short time and the cf cards did not have any tract to slide into , like the PK does. I find that getting the cards into the PK much easier. You were right though they did have to replace the mother board. Scott

This person said that this can happen if you force the card into the slot upside down and strongly suggested that I mark all my cf cards so I know which is the top side. After this conversation I did notice that the ones I have do have a slight ridge on the underside of the card where it sticks out of the bn so you can tell which is the top in which is the underside. This may be unique to this brand though which I think is Sandisk, so you might consider putting some sort of small label towards the outer edge of the card so there's no possibility it could get stuck in the bn. The Ambicom wireless card has a ridge around the top side so it's quite easy to identify it's correct position. I haven't had the slot break, but have accidently tried putting the card in upside down a few times and gotten the "card not recognized" message. But, if you are careful, and especially if you make certain to put the card in correctly you should not have a problem. The sad thing is that all it takes is one time doing it incorrectly and pushing a bit too hard. I'm sure this warning goes for both the pk and bn and probably any other device which uses a cf card.
