Oly C-8080 with Linux
Hi Folks,
I've been considering the C-8080 and I'm now down to the details of questioning if it will interface with my computer. I don't use Microsoft products, it's a religious issue. So, does anyone have experience using the C-8080 with Linux on x86? I've used the Canon S30 directly without problem. Also, how about the XD memory cards? Any problems getting readers to work with the Penguin? Thanks, Lew |

My C4000 interfaces with Mandrake 9.2+ via USB with no problems. It just
worked instantly. A new mounted volume just appeared on the desktop.

All recent Olympus cameras support USB mass storage, which means you can just mount the drive (evidently Mandrake does automounting). Note, I believe there is a setting in the camera to choose Pictbridge/PTP vs USB mass storage, and you would choose USB mass storage. It is possible that gphoto2/kam would work with the camera in PTP mode. So, does anyone have experience using the C-8080 with Linux on x86? I've used the Canon S30 directly without problem. Also, how about the XD memory cards? Any problems getting readers to work with the Penguin? In general you might have a problem with multi-format readers. Redhat/Fedora kernels are shipped with the Multiple SCSI LUN option turned off (evidently it breaks some ancient hardware), and you need to recompile the kernel with this option to use a multi-card reader (each different reader shows up as a seprate drive, and without multiple LUN support, Linux will only see the first drive). FWIW, the 2.6 kernels now supports my x-drive as a card reader in addition to removable disk drive, but it broke one of my older smartmedia readers. -- Michael Meissner email: http://www.the-meissners.org |

Any problems getting readers to work with the Penguin? Thanks, Lew SuSE 9.0 I have two cards, an XD and a CF. The XD reads right from the camera. Worked the first time I connected it. The kernel puts an entry in /etc/fstab on connection, in my case /media/sdb1. It reads and writes like a hard drive. I've only used the CF with a card reader. It worked first time too. OS created an fstab entry /media/sda1.
