It does work, at least for my Sony camcorder (which also takes stills) After connecting your camera, chk to see that the modules for usbcore and usb-storage are loaded. If not, load them. You should then find you have a 'new' scsi device. Do a: mount /dev/sd? -t vfat <mountpoint> which may or may not work in your case. I've only done this about twice and I usually have to work through it each time but the above should give you a bunch of things to try. I agree.. an sxs would be a good thing to have. > Help? > > ++ kevin -- +----------------------------------------------------------------------- -----+ + Bruce S.
