Very Computer

I have tried every variation of the mount command's file type option,
but I cannot seem to find the right one for this unit.  When I try to
access the files on the camera, I either get an unknown file system
message or an unknown file format message.

I can access the camera via usb from windoze 98se.

Has anyone had any luck with this camera?

What mount command options do you use?
   (I have tried -t vfat and -t usbdevfs; both seem to work until I
attempt to read the files)

How do you access the files?
   (I presume you can just cp them to a local directory and open them
with Gimp)

Many thanks for your time and trouble in reading and answering.

Mine works great.

I do: mount -t msdos /dev/sda1 /mnt/olympus

Exactly.

Can you delete the files off the camera, or is the access read-only?  I
have an Olympus with a Smartmedia card, but no USB port.  So I have a
Zio Smardmedia reader.  But I can only read it.

Just read-only for direct connection, disappointingly.

It's not really that bad, if you think about it.  At least you can get
it all off the camera, then have the camera delete all.  At least, I
hope that can be done, as it can be done on our D490.

With the Olympus D510 zoom camera (which has a USB connection), I can delete
the files.  With the eFilm smartmedia card reader I bought (uses the Sandisk
drivers), I can't delete the files.  So I tend to just use the camera directly,
so I can delete the files after I upload them.
