Over Christmas I had a major breakthru with my Coolpix 990. It is also a USB device that does NOT provide a 'disk' interface (you cannot mount it). It is based on the Sierra chipset, as are a number of other cameras. It is supported by the gphoto2 library, but not by any user-level apps. Then I

That's for sure. This project went in a straight line, from start to finish. Almost everything worked out of the box. The only hooker was the bad print cartridge. The hardest part, which I haven't done yet, is figuring out how to use the camera's many options. Joel On Sun, Dec 22, 2002 at
