Argh ... That's $65 down the drain. Usually, I don't have any problems getting devices to work on Linux. Perhaps I shouldn't assume that I'll get all devices to work and do some homework before buying a new device. Thanks for your help, Neil.

I have several web cams that for the longest time were not supported under linux. I now see that the Hama Sightcam 100 has a linux driver. That web cam was retired to maybe it will work on linux in the future bin. It now works nicely under linux. Thanks to all the great developers out there. -- Ted Ozolins(VE7TVO) Westbank, B.

[gentoo-user] Using a Digital Voice Recorder on Linux
Hi all, I recently purchased an Olympus VN-480PC Digital Voice Recorder to record my college lectures to help with note-taking. It connects to the PC via a USB cord. I'm trying to figure out how to mount the DVR on my Gentoo Linux box. I'm using gentoo-sources-2.6.13-r3, and udev-070-r1 as my dev file system. Since I suspect that it probably works similarly to the ubiquitous USB flash drives, I tried to configure my kernel to support them. I built in SCSI disk support, SCSI emulation, USB support, and USB storage support. Still, it doesn't work. Am I missing any drivers that are needed to support USB flash drives? Where might I find a USB flash drive under /dev? Is there anything extra that might be needed to support a digital voice recorder? Please CC my address ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) in your response. Thanks in advance for your help! Kris Kerwin [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
