This is what I assumed we would do. Any idea how big a card
would need to be to hold each CD?

Subject: [Braillenote] rfb books and cd-rom drives
Hi Folks,
In the case of RFB books, you will need to copy the entire daisy
book
from the cd-rom to a memory card big enough to handle the books
from rfb.
So you will need a computer to do so.
I did fine one external powered CD-rom drive that does work with
the
MPower BrailleNotes, It is a Lacie, dvd-cdr-rw drive. It is the
one
that is sold with the GW Micro Small talk.
It is not always found by the MPower, but I have got it to work a
number of times, either reading a dvd disk or a cd disk, either
books, word files, text files, or mp3 files.
I would think it would only take a little refinement of the
cd-rom
drivers, by HumanWare programers to make it totally stable.
But inn the case of all pda units, the end-user will need to copy
the
rfb daisy book off the cd-rom disk to a large memory card using a
computer cd-rom drive, before they can listen to it with the book
reader.
Hopefully, RFB will do like NLS wwill be doing, and that is to be
able to download the book to the computer and then copy it over
to a
large memory card. The daisy books from RFB are very large and
it
wouldn't be practical to download straight to the MPower.
