It was able to establish some kind of communication, but I didn't get any photos downloaded. One of the reasons I didn't continue was the realization that I was draining the batteries; I didn't see any evidence of something that wasn't working, just that I hadn't understood the commands yet. > But..., if I do, what is a good brand of smart card drive? And, > what can I expect to pay? Flash card PCMCIA adaptors seem to be all the same, only a few wires, and they cost about $10. They probably pay for themselves in battery life pretty quickly :-) Greg -- When replying to this message, please copy the original recipients. If you don't, I may ignore the reply.
