Thanks so much Lloyd. I got it and upgraded my player. Now it works
perfectly with my card reader and 16 gig SD card so I have a backup if my
victor dies.
Again, thanks much. Very 73.

The latest version of the player firmware is 2.1.7, as of October, 2011. Go
to the NLS BARD website, http://nlsbard.loc.gov , log in and you will find
a link to the latest firmware toward the bottom of the front page. It
unzips into a folder named \upgrade on the flash drive, and contains four
folders and 267 files. One of the new features of 2.1.7 is that the player
will no longer suspend and resume USB drives plugged into the side port.
This makes a lot more flash drives compatible, including some SD card reader
combinations. The downside is that playback time on the battery is reduced
by about 30 percent.
73,
