[Dtb-talk] Flash Drive

[Lynn Evans]

The following is listed in easy to hardest ways to use the NLS player:

Use 1 or 2 gig cartridges from the Perkins store.
Use the brand name Kingston DataTraveler This works with the NLS players 
with no one reporting any difficulties on the BARD talk list so far.

NLS recommendations:

Flash drives should not have software like U3 or partitions on them. The 
crap will need to be removed to get the drive to work with the player. 
Example is the SanDisk.
There has been some small success using flash cards with readers but not 
much.
