I personally have a Kodak DC-50, and A DC-3200, both use PCMCIA flash(the DC50) and Compact Flash (the DC3200). I pop the cards into my laptop's PCMCIA slot, and it shows up as "/dev/ad1" (unless I'm using a certain brand card, which shows up as "/dev/ad8" I mount with (as root)"mount -t msdos /dev/ad1s1 /camera" and can manipulate the files as if it was any other file system. (The DC50 uses an unfortunately closed .KDC file format, I need wine and the windows converter to convert into .jpg The DC3200 saves natively as jpegs.) Copy the files over to the local computer, and process them as needed. My decision for getting the cameras was actually the ease of connection to FreeBSD. (That, and I have quite a few compact flash cards, why get a wholly different media format if I don't have to.) Any CF-using camera should have the same ease. I -do- have a dinky USB pencam. I cannot get it to function reliably. But, that's acceptable, it was a "returns bin" purchase, and of useless-for-my-needs quality. -R To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the messagehome | help
