Psion Teklogix netBook, 32M/64M manual Expanding Your Netbook, CF Card

EXPANDING YOUR NETBOOK

This chapter includes some ways in which you can expand the capabilities of the netBook.

CF Card

The CF card interface accepts type I and type II cards. Compact Flash cards are a cheap and convenient way to extend the storage capacity of your netBook. Psion Memory Disks are available in this format in various sizes to extend the file storage capacity and add additional applications. Because the Memory Disks use a type of memory called ‘Flash’, it can hold its contents even when outside the netBook, so is ideal for making a backup which can be carried with you.

To get access to the CF card interface, carefully slide out the CF tray (on the left hand side, below the on/off switch). There is a groove on the bottom of the moulding to help this to be prised open.

It is important not to pull the tray out beyond the point where the finger hole is completely visible.

The CF card is installed by placing it in the tray, with the connector end going into the machine first. The tray will only close if the card is inserted correctly. When the card is in place, it can be accessed as drive D on the System screen. If the disk contains programs, these will appear as icons on the extras tool bar.

To remove a card, carefully slide out the tray and push the card out of the tray from below using the finger hole.

Pull CF card tray until finger hole is visble
