Ae you talking about a disk drive? You'd need a PCMCIA adapter for the card. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lisa Ehlers" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Braillenote List" <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, February 02, 2005 2:54 PM Subject: Re: [Braillenote] wireless card questions
Yes this information is very helpful! Thanks! Did an adapter come with the BN for the slot on the right-hand side of the unit? I have this one cable thing that came with the BN that I have never used. It isn't serial, it isn't parallel it has a plug thing at one end and I think like a cable thing at the other end it's really small. At least I think it came with the BN. So what type of adapter would I need to purchase then? Like what is it called? Thanks!
