[Dtb-talk] NLS Digital Players

Sun Feb 14 14:38:41 UTC 2010

Hello again!

Sometimes the U3 smart drive doesn't fit properly in the NLS player due to 
the retractable plug on the drive.  This too proved to be a problem for me. 
The Kingston Traveler drives I now have fit properly and they work well!

Jim
