[Mdpobc] Need Victor Reader Wave

[David Andrews]

Hi:

You can probably find a used Wave, but since it is no longer made, 
this seems like a limiting solution.

I would suggest the Stratus from Humanware, another Victor 
product.  It will play CD's or digital books from SD cards, and has 
text-to-speech, so can play bookshare and other text-based daisy 
books in addition to human read books such as those from RFB&D 
(Learning Ally,) and NLS.

You say newer Victors not compatible with the CD's your son gets.  I 
find that hard to believe unless he is getting some weird 
format.  All victor machines play daisy version 2.02 as well as daisy 3.

Make sure your info is correct before you pursue an obsolete solution.
