I have a drive, but mine does not go into the Braille Lite.  My has a USB
port and plugs by its cord into the computer.  The Compact Flash card where
all my books are stored goes into a slot in this little drive.  After the
books are saved on this drive, which I save everything to as e colon
backslash, I remove the Compact Flash card from this drive and put the
Compact Flash card in the Braille Lite.  From there, I can either copy the
books to the Braille Lite itself or just open them up on the Compact Flash
card and read them.
