david the disk drive for the braille is a standard 3-1/2 inch 720k disk
drive which handles ascii files. If you have access to a 720k drive,
disk swapping between your computer and the braille'n speak should be a
piece of cake.

Patrick,
I have been lead to believe that the external disk drive for the
Braille 'n Speak is a 1.4 meg drive. I do have access to a 720 k 3.5
inch disk drive, however, and I've been curious about how it will
interface with the Braille 'n Speak disk drive, as there is an excellent
chance I will get my hands on one in the near future.
I hear the Braille 'n Speak has the ability to format the 1.4 meg
high density disks, but not the 720 k disks. If so, will I be able to
format the disks on my computer and then read and write to them via the
Braille 'n Speak?
Thanks for any further information on this new Braille 'n Speak
option!

HI WILLIE, AS I UNDERSTAND THE NEW DISK DRIVE FROM BLAZIE YOU CAN FORMAT DISK
AS EITHER 720K OR 1.4MEGS.
