Okay, I'm assuming that the Orion, like the Icon will have usb connectivity.
I have used my Icon to copy NLS books on to an NLS cartridge many times with complete success.
I do have one of the extension cables required to do that.
Actualy they're available just about anywhere that sells usb cables.
You want what's known as an extension cable.
Very often these are sold for the purpose of extending things like a usb printer cable or a scanner cable. they have a slightly larger end that will recieve the flat usb connector that fits in to a usb slot normaly. You just plug the cable in to the external usb port on the cable that attaches to the Icon, plug the other end of that cable in to your cartridge, and the Icon will say Usb disk one found, and there ya are! I know for sure this is possible with an Icon, and if the Orion is going to have external usb connections like the Icon there's no reason at all this won't work.
Hope that helps.

If you do try connecting a cartridge to the Orion, please let me know how you do it and how it goes. Thanks. Beth
