[Dtb-talk] Flash Drive

[Flint Million (Mobile E-mail)]

The topic of which drives work and which don't is quite interesting indeed. I have quite a sizeable collection of flash drives of various makes and models. I am going to start up a little site so people can see which drives people have or had not had success with,starting with my own collection. Stay tuned...

I also would really love an SD card reader inside a cartridge shell. That would be ever so useful... It just would definitely need to support SDHC...

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.
