hmm thanks for the info, i wasnt aware of the copyrigh issues.. my decision is 50/50 split anyway between two brand cameras so i'll probably just continue w/ my cf based system.
my system is: i have a cf flahs reader and i rigged a pushbutton, so i just take out the cf from the camera slide it in to the reader and push the button--thats it and then the computer slurps the images off the card and puts it to an (internal) website. very convenient. I thought I could also pull this off with SD..but wont do it if it requires some more effort (i'm too lazy now and just want to upgrade the camera withouth too much effort) its really annoying when they change formats. thanks, jondz On Wed, 2003-07-30 at 00:52, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > i have a generic 6-in-1 reader (generic kasi di naman kilala yung brand) and > in my experience my mandrake 9.1 can only use the CF reader.
