Whatever the O S is, it will have to be wiped out to make room for the new O S. I think it would take a dedicated team to get it going. You might need to know the detailed information on the chip sets inside, and some data might need decoding. It is beyond my ability, but this is the same concept that the open source RockBox uses to port into the devices that are running a different firmware. I think that if there is a way to upgrade the Braille Note, there is a way to over-write it's O S. But it might take some cooperation from HumanWare. Glenn ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ann K.

You can, however use BrlTTY with a PC running Linux. Sorry, but that's the story. Ann P. -- Ann K.
