Hi all,
I thought I'd warn you about one particular Mini-SD card to avoid. A
bit over a month ago, I purchased a 4GB Mini-SD card from Amazon. It was
listed as an OEM brand, and sold by Digital Media Outlet or Digital Media
Source. The card cost approx. $40 plus shipping. Obviously, this is a
generic, no-name card. I received the card, and it worked great for a day,
then became unreadable in either the Braille+ or PC. Reformatting the card
resulted in losing a bit more than half the capacity. I contacted the seller
and requested a replacement. I got it, and it did the exact same thing.
Having had enough, I requested a refund, which I'm still waiting for. On the
other hand, I have had no trouble with a Kingston 2GB card purchased
directly from Amazon. Just thought I'd let you guys know.
Jayson

Richard,
We don't know of a limit. What size cards are you seeing?

To follow up on a previous question; does anyone know how large of a mini-SD
card the Braille Plus will handle?
I found nothing in the manual.
Thanks,
Richard

Hi,
Anywhere that you find flash cards will work. I often shop at newegg.com or
hunt for bargains using dealram.com.
Hth,

Hi Melissa,
I would recommend a reliable brand like sandisk.
Don't think you need a hc card.

Hello Everyone,
How large of an SD card can the Braille Plus support? Also, does the SD Card
need to be an SDHC card? Does the Braille Plus support any particular brand
of SD cards?
Thank you.
Milissa
