Re: wallstreet and digital camera, CF card OK, smartmedia is not
Date: Thu, 12 Dec 2002 22:11:43 -0500 Subject: Wallstreet vs Canon PowerShot camera Help From: Norm Kamp [EMAIL PROTECTED] What I think they are saying is I cannot use my PDQ with their camera, since it does not have a built-in USB interface. I do have a USB PC card installed and it works with anything that I tried. Any input would be appreciated. Norm Kamp Norm I use my MacAlly USB card to connect to my Olympus D-100 and it works fine. I would caution against putting a Smart media card into the PC card slot. Unlike compact flash cards smart media cards don't have any on-board electronics and can be corrupted by being read in a MAC card slot. As a result I use the USB connection so the camera's electronics will do the translation. If your camera has a compact flash card you should have no problem. -- Andrew King Ann Arbor Michigan technology is the answer, what was the question? -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Putting the invisible files on the disk is a function of PC Exchange / File Exchange, not the type of flash memory. I haven't seen a camera yet that puts it's pictures in the root folder. Even if it did, other files being there shouldn't bother it. In any event, the Mac isn't corrupting anything. -- 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...
