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.
