[opensuse] Olympus VN-4100PC Digital Recorder (OPENSUSE 10.2)
I bought an Olympus digital voice recorder and I cant seem to get it to work with open suse. Does any one have a suggestions? I am almost out of memory and need to upload the files to my server. It came with windows software and I have a windows machine however i refuse to use windows. It attaches by a usb connection. -- Don Cowan www.dcowan.net

What happens when you plug it in? (it is switched on, yes?) What does lsusb show? (you may need to be root to run it) Cheers, Dave -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

See http://www.qbik.ch/usb/devices/showdev.php?id=3866 Looks like it has a proprietary driver. You could write to Olympus for information and maybe try to write a driver. I must admit that when I looked into writing a USB driver for an ADF image scanner I found it incomprehensibly complex, but I tried to do it from first principles instead of looking at existing code which probably wasn't the most effective approach. I found a tool called USB snoopy. http://www.google.com/search?q=usb+snoopy -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
I think i am going to have to use the windows disk and install the software using wine/wine tools however i have been having unpredictable results with wine Donald On Friday 25 May 2007 03:28, Russell Jones wrote:
