The usual assumption when a manufacturer says their USB device only works with built in USB is sheer laziness on their part. They don't want to support add-in USB cards and assume it's a small market so they can blow it off. Does your USB now work with other devices? It may be a matter of which USB driver you use. A simple solution is to get a flash card adapter to read your camera's memory card on the laptop. This is what I use for the three cameras I work with. Kodak cameras are usually CompactFlash and the adapters for those are around $10. ps What does a cannon have to do with it, did you shoot your camera. :) (cannon is a gun, Canon makes cameras) -- Clark Martin Redwood City, CA, USA Macintosh / Internet Consulting [EMAIL PROTECTED] "I'm a designated driver on the Information Super Highway" -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
