[LUG] Fw: USB Storage & Probs Posting to the DCLUG List



Forwarded message from keith

I'm receiving mail from the dclug list, but when I try to post my mails
are thrown back in my face. This used to work and I can't recall having
changed anything since I last posted (probably a few months ago).
Perhaps you have my down as <somethingelse@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>? I'm using
a fairly ancient version of Netscape, but it works OK with other mailing
lists.

I thought I'd sent this last week, but just in case ...

I'm completely stumped on this one. Often things work a bit and you can
mess around tweaking them til they work properly -- but when nothing
happens at all ...

OK so I've got a relatively cheap digital camera (Praktica Genius 1,3)
which in one mode you can connect to a PC via a USB port and it's
supposed to appear as a removable drive. Let me quote the MS orientated
manual (this I think is German thinly disguised as English) :

"Mass Storage: Selecting this mode can use the camera as a storage
media. In _My Computer_ it will appear as a _Removable Drive_. You can
access the images recorded in the camera from PC."

I've had it connected to two different PCs running two different Linux
distros, both afaik with all the correct drivers in place, and nothing
much seems to happen. How and where does a "Removable Drive" manifest
itself under Linux. Does in appear under /proc ? Is there a
/dev/something_or_other that needs mounting?

I can usually figure these things out, but here I'm just stuck and
feeling very silly. Give me some pointers before I run out of patience
and fling the bloody thing in the sea.

Keith
