I have a Coolpix 880 camera and a Microtech card reader connected to my S900
through a PCI USB card (Xircom). I'm running 9.1 with a Sonnet 400 G3
accelerator and 608 Mb of RAM. It all works great. The card reader is
definitely the way to go over downloading from the camera. It's the same as
opening another drive on your desktop, maybe faster in some cases.
