Introduction
The disk drive is a hardware accessory that lets you transfer
files to and from your notetaker using a standard 3.5-inch
diskette. Holding up to 1.44 kilobytes of information and PC
compatible, diskettes remain a versatile and inexpensive
medium for storing and transferring notetaker files. Measuring
only 8 inches x 4 inches x 1 inch, the disk drive is as portable
as your notetaker.
The disk drive uses rechargeable nickel cadmium batteries
that last approximately 5 hours before they need recharging.
To recharge the batteries use the 9-volt DC, positive tip 200
mA charger.
With an optional serial cable, the disk drive is compatible with
other RS-232 devices.
Note: In order to use the disk drive you must have a July
1, 1990 or later revision of firmware on your
notetaker.
Getting Started
Braille ‘n Speak 640 and Braille Lite 18
For your Braille ‘n Speak 640 and Braille Lite 18, the disk drive
is packaged with the DDA2-BNS-1 cable.
Connect the cable’s smaller square end to the 6-pin port on
the left side of the notetaker. This should be the first port on
the left side. The connector is keyed so that it will plug in only
one way and it should slide in easily.
