[Electronics-talk] nls bard question

[Donald Moore]

Ask your local library   for the blind for an adapter for your player.
They're free, although I've seen them on Amazon for under $10.00.  You can
plug it into the side of the player and the drive into that adapter.  Hope
this helps.

Hi Tim.  So are you saying that it is possible to use a flash drive with my
digital player?  I have two flash drives and one of those cartridges from
Perkins I think.

How do I use Daisy books on this player?  Where can I find them?

The second one is the unzipped folder.
