Brian and all, having now done some more research on this, I've discovered the following. There will be a new version of the 311 which supports daisy. However, it is also possible to upgrade an original with a firmware revision which is tied to the unit's serial number. This effectively adds a daisy player to the MP3 player and voice recorder functions. -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Brian Hartgen Sent: 11 August 2006 05:44 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: MILESTONE AND DAISY Hi Steve I forgot there apparently are (or will be ) two models of this player, one with daisy support and one without. However, at the moment the RNIB web site is not clear on this point. The product quoted as being £180 (HT223) states: PLEASE NOTE: This player will be able to support Daisy when the software becomes available. This will be available as a Firmware upgrade. This could encourage people to purchase this particular model with the expectation that they will receive a free firmware upgrade to support daisy content, rather than there being two separate products.
