Dear Group I want to thank all of you for your helpful input on this subject. I wound up with an Olympus D-100 which I believe is even the Gphoto list only it shows a D-100z??? However in windows 2000 it does set up exactly like ultima notes below. So I have every reason to believe that this will work. I'm reading that one of the 8.1 features is that it will automatically put an icon on the screen when you hotplug the USB for a new drive....assuming my interpretation of what they are saying is correct. That would be really nice, simple, and conveniant. So far have not had time to try the linux, but will let the group know if I get it working.

And you won't need Gphoto. I have a Fuji camera with Smartmedia cards and LM8.0, and the system reads the Smartmedia card just like a hard drive. If you get a USB smartmedia card reader, you can read and write to the card. Plg in the camera to the USB port and let the system detect it. Then you'll be able to mount it from /dev/sda1. > > On Tuesday 25 September 2001 01:55, you wrote: > > Both have USB working in Linux for printers at this point.
