I connected my Nikon CoolPix 775 via USB last night, & noted that in Control Center/Information/USB devices that the camera was detected correctly. I also found it under SCSI devices (along w/ my zip drive). I assumed then that the camera might be mountable as /dev/sdaX , since the zip drive is detected as /dev/sda4. I tried mounting several of the other /dev/sdaX to a mount point I created called /camera, but w/ no luck. Am I even close to the right track here? Anyone else have any success w/ a similar situation? Thanks, Mike ------------------------------------------------- Cleary_Mike@emc.com x6033 ------------------------------------------------- It said "Requires Windows 95 or better".... so I installed Linux.

The following works great with my SanDisk CF reader: modprobe usb-storage mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /camera *************************************************** Powered by SuSE Linux 7.2 Professional KDE 2.1.2 KMail 1.2 Bryan S.

I just got a SONY PC120 videoDV cam with memory stick work as digital photo cam. The cam uses USB as connection, no problem in windog but I am out of idea how to mount it under Linux.:( It can be recongnised by USB under control center, I created a mount point /windows/U with: modprobe usb-storage mount -t vfat /dev/sdaX /windows/U tried through many value for X but with error message: mount: /dev/sda1 is not a valid block device How can I find out which dev the 'thing' is under? Thanks for help. Dennis/sg
