The braille lite does not have an sd card slot. It has a compactflash (cf) slot on millenniums.

Hi,

Yes, the Braille Lite has an S d card. It's located along the

rear edge

of the uneat near the LPT port. It's used for backing up your

data.

Hi,

What you say is true, but I said what I did because many people

speak

of the
BNS when they really
mean the Braille Lite system. I like to cover as many bases as I

can.

No BNS ever came with an SD card. SD technology was on the

when the
BNS units were discontinued in favor or the PacMate.

Hello, Ted,

Transferring from the Braille 'n speak to the Braille Plus is at

least a

two-step process.
I see no direct way to do this; a computer is essential. The

only

hardware
output
on the Braille 'n Speak is a serial port. The Braille Plus does

not

have
one.  I have
heard that there is a serial to USB converter. If so, that might

allow

for a
direct
transfer, assuming that the Braille plus can recognize the BNS as

storage
device.

If you have the Disk Accessory for the BNS, move your data to a

floppy

and
use that
to transfer your data to a computer, and then use the computer to

send

the
data back 6 your Braille
Plus.

If your computer does not have an internal hard drive and it is
essential to
make the
transfer, then you can buy a USB floppy drive.

If you have a later BNS which uses SAID cards, you can use the

card to

transfer data to your
computer and back to the Braille plus. I have not tried this,

but

perhaps
the card reader would be
recognized by the The BRAILLE Plus.

I hope this will help you or someone on this list. I suggest,

however,

that
if you need further
help that you write me off list.

Hi to the list,
I'm an old Braille 'n Speak guy with a new Braille Plus. I'm

looking

for
some hints on transferring my bns stuff to the Braille Plus.

I've

found by
renaming the files with a .brf extension, that seems to help, and

by

adding
a line feed character seems to help as well.  Any suggestions
appreciated.
