Hi Peter and All, Oh, yes, join the fun with fixing your PK flash disk. Since he very nicely wrote it up for us, I'll copy below a portion of a message from John Gallagher on this topic. But, to be fair and to also give credit where it is deserved, as I had the problem earlier myself, Dean Jackson had given me a similar method of fixing the same problem. (Dean had me go into Hyper Terminal directly and set up the PK connection, thus I didn't need that visual display program.) So, here is the portion of the message from John, then followed by the link in the list archives where the entire message may be found:
just in case anyone has this problem where the pk cannot access the flash drive this is what you must do. I ran the hyper terminal program called braille note visual display.ht connect the pk to com 1 or com 2 on your pc. now press c1 and c4 to switch the pk off. in the program from the desktop go to new and call it pk then on the next screen tell it if it is on com 1 or com 2. now the bits per second should be set to 38400 flow control should be set to hardware. then press o.k. now hold the escape down on your pc and press c1 and c4 on the pk wait thirty seconds for nothing to happen you should not get keysoft to load. now if this is so release the escape on the pc and in the terminal program type the following epsm and press enter ereg press enter now do a c1 and c4 and unplug the cable. again do a c1 and c4 on the pk and all should be well. http://list.humanware.com/archives/braillenote/2006-August/053933.html Vicky Collins [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----- Original Message ----- From: "Peter Bosher" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, December 02, 2007 3:16 PM Subject: [Braillenote] SOS; PK flash disk disappeared Hi All, Suddenly, for no apparent reason, my flash disk has gone. When I do a reset, I get the message "The flash disk is unavailable. Please press reset with no keys down". I've tried all three resets I know, and re-installed Keysoft as instructed at one point, but all to no avail. I remember mention of a "Technical reset", but can't remember what it is. Is that likely to help, or is there anything else I can try? All suggestions welcome.
