Hi Joseph; It sounds to me like Sammie is asking if the BN and stream can transfer imfo like you do in active sink with a computer and a BN. I tried to explained that cards can be transferred, but it sounds like she is looking for a direct connection. Also thumb drives can be used with the stream. Joseph, any idea on this? Terry Powers
