Re: [PLUG] gphoto2 troubles


The web page you want is http://www.qbik.ch/usb/devices/

http://www.qbik.ch/usb/devices/showdev.php?id=785 says your camera -- 
as is -- won't work!

So buy a card reader -- use the usb web page as a guide, I did -- and 
follow the instructions to install the card reader.

I found that the instructions of Jebediah Blackthorne at 
http://www.qbik.ch/usb/devices/showdev.php?id=1227 worked for the 
Sandisk card reader they were intended for and for the Lexar card 
reader I'd also acquired.

The trick seems to be that by you have to access the usb device through 
a scsi interface that automatically defines it as a vfat!

Arcane, but it works.
