Bill,
It looks like they did away with the DVD's too. A quote from the
BMA site...
"Compact Flash
Card Reader for DVD/CD Replacement
A panel mounted Compact Flash Card
reader is now available to replace your DVD or CD drive. This makes it
easier to update your EFIS/One system and to copy Flight Log data to your
laptop or home computer."

Blue
Mountain now uses a flash card that downloads the data from a DVD disk
while on the ground.

- Hmmm.... Doesn't the Blue Mountain and other glass panels use
harddrives?
- I thought that the inside of a harddrive was sealed.
- Picking a random drive on Seagate's website:
- Environmental
- Operating Temperature (°C) 0 to 60
- Nonoperating Temperature (°C) 70 to -40
- Operating Shock (Gs) @ 2 msec 63
- Non Operating Shock (Gs) @ 2 msec 350
- Acoustics,Idle (Bels-typ sound power) 2.2
- No mention of ambient pressure.

Dynon

have

Jeppenson's

it

and
-
- wipe
-
- the disc clean. I hate to think about all the files that I said I
would
- back-up soon... :-(. My old laptop still works fine(using it now)
so
-
- maybe
-
- I'll try it tomorrow.
-
- All hard drives have a spinning platter with a read/write head riding
a
- cushion of air just above it. Go to 10,300' and there isn't
much of a
- cushion left. The head will fall into the platter turning at
7500 or
- 10000 rpm. I think you'll be lucky if the drive ever works
again.
