Driver for JVC Digital Still Camera

[K.C. Chan]

All, I 've just bought a Digital Still Camera. It came with drivers for windoze, Does any know if there is one for RH 7.1? Thanks.

one more thing, I am using the usb port. I am having a bit of a problem, that is identifying which device to mount. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

more specifically, this page:

Look for "Victor Company of Japan (JVC)"

I dunno how much this helps....

That din't help. If any one got their JVC digital/Camera to work under Linux on USB port let me know. I would like to get it working also. Thanks.

Any one out there know of a HOWTO for this USB jvs model? Thanks.

This is how mine works:

Plug in the camera..

Turn it on..

Do a more on /var/log/messages and go to the bottom. There should be a message about "found device /dev/sdf0 or whatever.

Then you can

mkdir /mnt/camera
mount -t msdos /dev/sdf0 /mnt/camera

You may have to have the scsi drivers compiled (built in, or as a module) to get this to work since it sees the camera as a scsi device.

Here's what I got when doing dmesg to see if it recognize my JVC digital camera:
usb.c: USB device 2 (vend/prod 0x4f1/0x4) is not claimed by any active driver.
Initializing USB Mass Storage driver...

Any idea if the driver is loaded? If so, what device name should I use to mount it? Thanks.
