I'm forwarding a message from the BrailleNote list that contains a long list of devices that work with Braille Notes of varying versions. Your friend will want to read all the way to the end of this message to get all information that might be relevant.

Hi Roger and All,

This is a great, very comprehensive list. There are two items I would like to add to it. They are:

1. Hitachi Compact Flash Microdrive, available in 2GB, 4GB, and 6GB models. These microdrives work wonderfully with the BrailleNote family. They can come with a PCMCIA adapter, allowing one to use the microdrive in either slot of the BN/VN.

2. SanDisk Ultra II SD Plus USB Card. Model Number: SDSDPH-1024-901. This is a SD card that can also be plugged into a standard USB port, in the manner of a jump drive or thumb drive. Both methods of connection--SD and USB--work flawlessly with the BrailleNote family.

I own and frequently use both devices, so any questions are welcome.

HTH, and happy shopping,

Sarah

Hi Folks,

I haven't had much additions since November, but I have added some
myself of items that do or don't work, so below is my list.

Please email me if you know of other products that work with MPower
or classic BrailleNotes and let's compile a long list of items that
work and also let me know which ones don't work too, so all of us
don't waste our hard earned money.

printer and MPower first, then attach usb to parallel converter, then
turn on printer and then MPower they work great too.

IR100M series is compatible with most Centronics-B (36 pins) parallel printers that their Microsoft Windows printer driver use LPT port with proper driver. If the printer or multi-function model can not work with Microsoft Windows LPT port or DOS, IR100M series will likely not work.
