There are actually PCMCIA and CompactFlash cards that I have seen that draw 5 volts. So, with the mPower and Classics, it is required that the card be between 64-512 MB in order to perform the upgrade. It is required that the upgrade be done using a SD card on the mPower and a CompactFlash card on the Classic. There is no limit of the size of CompactFlash card that can be used to perform an upgrade on the PK as the upgrade procedure is different. It si possible to use SD cards of up to 2 GB on the mPower for other information. It is possible to use CompactFlash cards of 16GB on the other units for storing information.
Note: The latest version of KeySoft for the BrailleNote Classic and PK is KeySoft 7.5. Build 27. The latest for the mPower is KeySoft 7.5. Build 28. The only difference is that Build 28 fixed an issue with printing via USB.

If you have an mpower, you need an sd card between 64 and 512 mb. If you have a classic or pk, you need a compactflash card between 64 and 512 mb. The 3.5 thing is the voltage of pcmcia cards; the mpower will not take a pcmcia card, or any other card for that matter, that draws above 3.5 volts. I do not think any cf or sd cards do this, so it is only the pcmcia ones to worry about and you can't easily buy those anymore.
