I have an unsupported HP 315 photosmart camera, ( usb ).If your camera is not supported then it's not supported.
Usbview finds it, and correctly identifies it. Etc/Hotplug knows about it as well.
Gphoto has no driver for it, cannot make it work.
It seems to me that I should be able to mount it as a filesystem ? of some kind / type, virtua,l removeable, or scsi, and access it as such.
Does anyone know of a way, or a site that might offer this possibility ?
My cd burner is set up as sco ( I don't know if this matters ).
most of the chepies are not. Mine included.
there are three possible solutions,
Try to get it to work as a mass storage device.
Mount any windblows OS and then having used windblows software to
download onto that OS, merely transfer the files over to linux.
Buy yourself a usb smartcard reader.
Quite possibly the best long term way of doing it, since it
is likely to be an ongoing problem, because not only your
camera but your friends and relatives will all have their
own unsupported versions, so cut the problems down
to size , and use a smartcard reader, end of problems.
Not that I actually have one to confirm this, but I'm
certainly going to get one oneday. Actually this
is quite a larger question really, because there are
various kinds of usb card readers, many models
can actually read various types of mass storage
media.
