Haven't tried it on FBSD, but I use USB from my DC240 (same protocol as DC280, I believe) to my Linux box using gphoto. Linux has a USB driver for the DC2xx series of cameras - I'd imagine it's just a matter of figuring out the "goofy stuff" in that driver and porting that over to the FBSD USB framework, if it's not already done somewhere. Fortunately, Kodak has been quite helpful in getting their stuff to run with operating systems that actually work... :) mike To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
