Hi Sunny,

Just out of curiosity, how many photos are you talking about? I mean, a "ton" 
of megabytes is an awful lot of electrons! ;-)

From my archives:

http://www.porcupine.org/forensics/tct.html (be sure to check the link at the 
very bottom of the page!)

Another idea... I wonder if DOS 6.22 'undelete.exe' will run under dosbox 
(included with SUSE)? I found a page where you can download it... :-)

You can make an image of the flash card with dd as a backup, right? Then try 
running 'undelete.exe' under dosbox. I have no idea if this will work or not, 
but it'd probably be fun trying.

regards,

Carl
