Nick:
Have you tried interchanging flash cards, to see if that is the problem? =
You might also try reformatting the card, using the reformat command.=20
If that's not it, stay tuned. I'm sure Rob and Larry might have more =
ideas.=20

Hello, All
Our DSS program issues 27 BookPorts to students each semester,
and all have worked very close to perfectly, with most problems relating
to the dreaded "user error," or lack of synchronization of
firmware/hardware. These problems have been quickly resolved.
This is the beginning of our spring semester, a time when we are
checking out BookPorts to students and a time I expect to discover new
problems. I have not been disappointed. We now have unique (I hope)
problem:=3D20
The BookPort functions properly until the USB cable is plugged into a
computer for download--then it goes completely dead. The computer does
not auto-recognize the BookPort, nor does it recognize it if I manually
start the transfer software. Other BookPorts work fine with the same
cable and computer. The dead BookPort can be revived by removing and
replacing the batteries.
When I say the BookPort is dead, I mean that there is no response to the
keyboard--not even to beep when locked keys are pressed. When restored
by removing the batteries, the keypad works normally in every respect
until the BookPort is hooked up to the USB cable.
Any ideas?=3D20
APH folks: is this a repair you can walk me through or will we need to
return it to you?

Hi, Joni.
First, what you should transfer to the BP is the OPF file. Make
sure
you have the latest release version of Book Wizard Reader if you're
using
the releases, and the latest beta version of that program if you're
using
any beta.=3D20
As for what purpose the files serve, the Daisy specification
will
give you all the info you could ever want on that
http://www.daisy.org/publications/specifications/daisy_202.html=3D2=
0=20
BTW, keep in mind that the Bookshare unpacker gives you the
ability
to make one HTML file out of the Daisy book. You can send this HTML file
to
the BP if you find it difficult to send the Daisy text. =3D20

I have only used the brf formats so far at Bookshare. I decided to try
the
Daisy format but I don't understand my results.
After unpacking a book I have these five files:
revstd.css 10 KB Cascading Style Sh... 1/2/2005 10:55 AM
Riptide_f1.ncx 151 KB NCX File 1/2/2005 10:55 AM
Riptide_f1.opf 1 KB DTBook.Document 1/2/2005 10:55 AM
Riptide_f1.smil 495 KB SMIL Multimedia Pre... 1/2/2005 10:55 AM
Riptide_f1.xml 847 KB XML Document 1/2/2005 10:55 AM
What should I transfer to the Book Port to get the book? Why does this
format unpack into four files and what purpose do they serve?
Joni
