k, so my gf got me this vivitar that only has a driver for os9. i can boot into 9 and get them, but that isn't optimal. it *does* take a CF card, so that's a plus, but it's still a pain in the keister.

question, where do os9 drives mount and is there anyway to get to them in panther?

this is really killing me.

I don't get it. Just get a CF card reader. A reader will mount CF cards w/o any addl drivers.

i know, but at the moment i don't have one, so if we can figure out how to make this work, i would be greatly appreciative.

especially since i kinda need these pictures TONIGHT.

k, this is weird, well it works now with image capture. just listed as DIGITAL CAMERA though.

Most digital cameras are just USB drive devices when plugged into the machine.

All iPhoto does is look for a folder on these drives with a name that resembles the ones used by known manufacturers.

Seeing as you have a relatively no-name camera, iPhoto doesn't automatically recognize it. But if Image Capture does, no big deal I guess.

it is fluctuating between working and not working. sorta weird. i have only gotten it to load twice now, out of nearly 10 tries. this is kinda annoying, but i can't seem to figure out what would make it work sometimes and not others.

is vivitar really a no name camera? i thought they were alright.

Dumb question: (always gotta check) Is the camera on, and in 'preview' mode each time?
