For cards smaller than 32 Megs yes it will... Cameras usually format the cards as FAT-12 drives and SMSQ supports that. If it's larger than that, Dave Walker's MultiDiscOVER probably will... (You have to check with Dave for that). Also through Q40 Linux you will be able not only to copy them (by simply mounting the card as a UMSDOS partition (mount /dev/hdb probably) or if you keep it in you could change your FSTAB file to do it automagically for you ;-) ) but also to fully manipulate them via GIMP :-) Phoebus >all the best Bill
