Check out: > http://dorifer.heim3.tu-clausthal.de/~olli/ophoto/ I think the DC-240 is awesome too, but unfortunately I think it is too expensive for a camera. It costs more than US$ 685 here in Portugal, more than a good dishwasher machine, which I need more than the camera :-)) I'm more interested in Mustek MDC-800 which also has USB/Serial, but a has lower quality and less memory than the Kodak one. This costs about US$278 here. Unfortunately it's not yet supported, as the gphoto developer working on it only got the programming docs this week. Anybody has one of those and cares to comment on their quality? I'll probably end up buying that one and work on the driver too.
