In late August this group had a thread about accessing digital cameras in which contributors talked about various methods of accessing the camera from a Linux system. I've had a Sony Mavica CD1000, the type that uses 8cm 157MB CD-R disks for a couple of years. I've always just mounted them as ordinary CDs. I can also attach the camera to the USB bus and mount it, but have never even tried it until tonight. I just did, turned on the camera, sure enough it comes up and says "PC MODE USB" in the display. I run usbview and sure enough, up comes a window with an entry that says MCV-CD1000, which shows all the device data wen I click on it. However, what device should I be able to use to mount this beast??? And what "type" option, i.e., mount -t whazzis /dev/whatgoeshere /mnt/point Thanks much, -- Lynn David Newton Phoenix, AZ
