I may be completely off base here but I'll try anyway, I have an Olympus USB camera which uses Smartmedia cards but is not recognised by any of the "photo" packages. Thanks to Ric Tibbets I am able to download from it by doing the following:-
modprobe usb-storage mount /dev/sda1 -t vfat /mnt/cam (where /mnt/cam is the mountpoint I created) Checking Hardrake it shows my camera as a disk called /dev/sda, note it does not show it as /dev/sda1 which it is but then HDs are shown as /dev/hda & /dev/hdb, again no drive number. It may be that you need to modprobe usb-storage and then mount it as /dev/sda1 BTW, I don't know anything about saving to such a device.
