Hello Jim, Presuming at your wife is still using KeySoft 5.1 or earlier, what you should do is keep the 6.11 file on the compactflash card.
In the CDEBconv folder, there will be a subfolder called old CDBs. Delete all the files in this folder but not the folder itself. From there, follow the original upgrade instructions for KeySoft 6.1, I.e, install the upgrade key for your wife's BrailleNote and reset or run pdiboot.exe on the CF card. Anyway, if you've done this before, I'm sure you'll have it all under your hat from here. If you require further assistance, please don't hesitate to contact me.

So far very very good! I still need to upgrade my wife's unit. I was thinking I could run the standard 6.1 upgrade card to get her that far! My upgrade card still has the 6.11 upgrade file on it as it was obtained from my pc unless the upgrade changed things in it. I was wondering if this isn't the case whether I could copy the 6.11 upgrade file onto my wife's card after deleting the specified file, then upgrade what would be her 6.1 upgrade to the 6.11 upgrade? I would be using Pulsedata cards as you specified in your post. > > I'm about to send this with my BN I hope!
