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 message
