suggested that the braille edge was the way to go... The only 2
Braille Displays I ever had a chance to work with.(not much
experience) is the orbit 20 and the one that I can’t think of the name
but, the company went belly up. I appreciate all who are patient with
me as I just don’t have the money to waste but could use a 40 cell
display with full note taking features. Andy and Shubert*

Mary, No, the Braille Edge cannot function like an external drive. It
is an older device, and had I known about the Q Braille coming out, I
would have waited longer to ask my work to get me the Braille Edge. I
was replacing an old Braille Sense OnHand. So, 6 or 8 months ago, I
got the braille edge, since the features were all I needed in my job.
Oh well.
I'd wait for the q if it were me.
I suspect you could get a demonstration of it once it is out since one
of the distributers I think is in Corvallis. I'll double check.

Hi Mary:
Although I read about both, I've only used and demonstrated the Focus
14 and 40 4th and 5th generation Braille displays. Personally, the
Braille Edge is an older product to the Focus 5th generation
displays. I would either get the Focus 5th or the q Braille. Some
differences between the 2 include:
Storage:
Focus, micro SD, QBraille, standard SD
Connected devices that you can switch among them:
Focus, 5 bluetooth and 1 USB, Q Braille, 6 bluetooth and 1 USB
keyboard layout:
this depends on what you want. Focus requires you to press more of a
combination of keys while the QBraille XL includes separate arrow,
function, and window keys like alt, control, Insert, Etc.
Price:
Last time I read, $300 less for Focus 40.

Subject: Braille edge or focus 40 latest generation with Mac and iPhone
Hi all, and I acknowledge that this has been Cross posted to a couple
of lists. I am interested in hearing from people who have recent
experience with the displays I mentioned in the subject line with a
Mac but particularly with iPhones, iPads etc. I’m also interested in
the new device that’s coming out called the Q braille, but it’s not
out yet, so of course nobody can really comment on it I guess. Of
course I know that the focus is particularly well served by the jaws
for windows screen reader, but that is outside the scope of any of
these lists. I’m also interested in the note taking capability and
how easy it might be to get say, bookshare books on and off of the
device for independent use, but I suppose that too is outside the
scope of these lists. Please feel free to reply to me off list about
that stuff. What is on point is the stability of the Bluetooth
connection, and the overall feel of the keyboard at Cetera, and the
out of the box key assignments.
Mary
