I think that you have to set the camera in some special USB-mode (using the setup-menu on the camera). There are two modes, one works, one doesn't...
I tried it on mine, and it was detected as a scsi-drive with the correct size. But I couldn't mount it, looks like it's not vfat or something, I'll send the errors later if I remember. /David ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jason M.

Christophe, i have gphoto installed from woody (i think it's version 2), but haven't tried it yet 'cause i don't know which port to specify the camera is on, since it's usb and not serial. what a sec.... i may not have gphoto2 installed, maybe just gphoto. i will have to look into that - my box at home is offline, that's why things take so long. i guess at this point i'm wondering if i'm mounting it correctly as a scsi device, and if the fs is vfat on my specific camera - the 215 using a compactflash card. as always, i apreciate any advice for my to try! thanks, jason
