My Sony DSC camera did work under 8.0-RELEASE. It's a model DSC-W35. It's seeing the umass problem now, and has since 8.1-PRERELEASE afair. This fault is the same on i386 or amd64, intel or amd chipsets, USB 1.0 or 2.0, through hubs or straight off the m/b, etc.. I'm keeping a backup box (intel atom / i386) running 7.3-STABLE around specifically to work around the problem. I'd have said something eralier, but I've gotten used to small nits poppping up and then disappearing; this one is dragging along :( sincerest regards, Ross -- Ross Alexander, (780) 675-6823 / (780) 689-0749, rwa@athabascau.ca "Always do right.
