[Dtb-talk] Flash Drive

[Steve Jacobson]

Hi,

I have the very same FLASH drive and have the very same results.  I know of five others who use flash drives on their players of all different brands and they have 
not had this problem.  Therefore, you and I are apparently the lucky ones to stumble upon an incompatible drive.  <smile>  The point here is that there isn't likely 
anything you can do to get this drive to work.  In my case, I was able to try another flash drive on the same player and it worked fine so I know the player is all right.  
I wrote to NLS and at this point they are urging people to buy blank cartridges as the most reliable way of handling downloaded books.  APH has 2 gig cartridges for 
$12 or so, but one also needs a cable to connect them to a computer.  The advantage, of course, is that you don't have anything sticking out as you do with a flash 
drive on the side and a certainty of compatibility.  You probably would also be all right trying a different brand of flash drive, though.  I even tried reformatting my drive 
but that didn't correct the problem.

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson
