Re: Software for ADS USB card

[Chuck]

I'll buy a CF card this coming week. $16 is a cheap and quick fix to the
USB camera issue.
I still hope to find software for the ADS USB card for use with other
USB components.
Thank you very much for taking time to help.
Chuck

No. the PC card holder simply plugs in to the slot. No software
required. You insert your CF card into the holder, put the holder in
the slot in your Powerbook and the card (and its contents) show up on
your desktop like a hard disk or floppy disk would. The files are right
there viewable by name in a finder window. Unless you need to plug
something else USB into the computer,m you don't need USB to see your
pictures. A  flashcard holder is less than $16 at BestBuy, CompUSA, any
camera store, etc.

Re: Software for ADS USB card

[Chuck]

Good morning,
Thanks for taking time to try and help with my USB card issue. The link
you provided is useful in other aspects and I will download other
software from it for updates and enhancements.
I have determined that the ADS USB card was originally designed for use
with Windows machines. Apple licensed ADS to write Mac software for it
but when the card was improved up by a newer model the operating
software disappeared. I'm guessing the Apple license agreement directed
that to happen.
I was hoping someone on the list might have the ADS USB card software
from an original card purchase and could share it with me.
Thanks again for your time and effort. I'll keep plugging along with
hope of using the USB card at some point in the future.
Chuck

I got a generic USB card working on my 3400c just by installing Apple's
USB
card support software for the classic MacOS. You can download USB Card
Support 1.4.1, hacked to support the 2400/3400/3500, here:

Plus, it is a big drain on the batteries to be transferring over USB.  Especialy if 
you are out and about on a trip or whatever and moving images to your laptop to mke 
room on the camera, you don't want to be killing your cam batteries...

You have a PCMCIA slot, don't you? If your camera takes flash cards, 
get a PC card holder. It's usually much faster to transferring directly 
from the card than transferring from the camera. If you are trying to 
control the shutter of your camera from the computer, then that is 
another matter.

I recently attained the card with hope of attaching a USB camera to my
Kanga. I'm anxious to use this card but can't locate the necessary
software. It's not available on the ADS web site and google doesn't
locate it either.
If someone has the software please consider sending it to me as an 
email
attachment or perhaps make arrangements for loaning the CD to me. I'll
easily cover all expenses.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
