If I find out, I get back to you. Has anyone considered spending a few extra bucks and grabbing a USB-enabled CompactFlash card reader? I have a Microtech Cameramate (I think that's the name) which I've used with 3 different digital cameras and an MP3 player. It requires a new enough kernel (I started with 2.4.5) with USB Mass Storage compiled in. You'll also want to support MSDOS FAT filesystems, as most digital devices that use CompactFlash cards format them in a FAT12 filesystem. When you want to copy files over, stick the CF into the reader, mount the filesystem, and use cp. :-) When you upgrade your camera later (like I have a couple of times) you can likely continue to use the very same CF card reader. You don't need special software (I dislike what's happened to GPHOTO...) to use it. Give it some thought. It takes some extra work and hacking away, but isn't that kinda why we're all using Linux to begin with? :-) corvette# mount /flash corvette# df /flash Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/sdc1 1051648 52224999424 5% /flash corvette# cd /flash/dcim/100ncd1x/ corvette# ls -l total 52128 -rwxr-xr-x1 root root 17774352 Nov 25 00:37 dsc_0001.tif* -rwxr-xr-x1 root root 17771822 Nov 25 00:38 dsc_0002.tif* -rwxr-xr-x1 root root 17773580 Nov 25 00:38 dsc_0003.tif* -- Jason Van Patten AOL IM: Jason VP Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

hi Nick, thanks a lot for the reply. I know by now that the Nikon 775 works. I'm sorry I do not know anything about usb-storage to help you about the id problem. If I find out, I get back to you. thanks also for the printing tip.

Re: [expert] Digital Camera: Nikon Coolpix 775
Hi Joerg, I have not yet received the Nikon coolpix 775, but I ordered it. But I was told by others that it works just fine. http://www.qbik.ch/usb/devices/showdevices.php3?id=11 I looked for Pentax axio 330 and did not get one single hit in groups.google.com; Sorry. thanks, armin On Wednesday 28 November 2001 09:09, you wrote: > Hi Armin, > > I don't have the Nikon Coolpix, but the Pentax axio 330. > I thought that everything linked to a USB Storage device should work out > fine, but it isn't the case (unfortunatly) with this device.

Re: [expert] Digital Camera: Nikon Coolpix 775
Armin, I have a Nikon 990, and it is not detected as a mass storage USB device. I think the id it returns has not been registered as a user of usb-storage, though my guess is that if it were registered it would work, but I have no idea who to pass the id to. Anyway, I still get along okay with LM8.1, as gphoto2 (included) supports most Nikons (check at www.gphoto.org, but be sure to check gphoto2 not 0.4x), this along with the gtKam GUI gives me adequate access to my camera. gtKam is not that good, but I can get my photos off the camera, which is all you need, right? ;-) As an aside, with CUPS using gimp print and an Epson 870, I get stunning photo output that is at least as good as from windows and looks as good as a "real" photo. I use the Corel photo paint, which works well and is free too :-) Nick.

Re: [expert] Digital Camera: Nikon Coolpix 775
Hi Armin, I don't have the Nikon Coolpix, but the Pentax axio 330. I thought that everything linked to a USB Storage device should work out fine, but it isn't the case (unfortunatly) with this device. Don't know yet what I'll do. I'll probably have to hack it a bit myself. Anyway, If you get some answers, could you forward them to me too please ?

Hi, did anybody get the Nikon Coolpix 775 to work with Mandrake 8.1? It is not in the support database. Thanks, Armin. --- Armin Roehrl, http://www.approximity.com Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
