We have a couple of those at work, and they work quite well, but don't expect to be able to take rapid successive pictures. Floppies have always been a tad slow. One of those cameras that use the tiny flash disks probably also store their pictures in a similar fashion, but then you'd need some kind of reader that worked under FreeBSD. I've never actually used one of those yet, so I don't know. -- Chris Dillon - cdillon@wolves.k12.mo.us - cdillon@inter-linc.net FreeBSD: The fastest and most stable server OS on the planet.
