(saves me digging) http://www.kodak.com/US/en/developers/productsTechnologies/prodTechDC240.shtml You need to become a member of the "Kodak Developer Program", which is free, AFAIK. That's how the gPhoto folks got their information about the serial protocol of the Kodak cameras. As another alternative to download the pictures, it is possible to use an "IDE PCMCIA drive". You insert the camera's CompactFlash card, and then you can access it like a regular IDE drive. It's should work under FreeBSD, too. However, using USB would be much more convenient, and it would also be cheaper (such an IDE PCMCIA drive is 300 DM, =~ 150 $).
