Thanks Ken, you've saved me hours hunting through the manual for
internal memory.

But I can't find the directory you mention, or indeed any directory.

The card works. I copied a sample pic to it. And under properties the
used space is way more than the sample pic - corresponding with the
photos that can be viewed through the camera. But I can't see them.

It is almost as if the camera is using a patent file system. Could
this be possible, and do you think a Linux boot would help solve the
mystery?

Hi...

Got me confused, owned almost every Oly they made, many of the
Fuji's, and all of them have the dcim under the root, with another
under that specific to the camera maker.

This tree is created automagically by the camera - even if you
del the sub's, they come back next time you use it :)

Wonder if the card reader is reading? After you copied a
pic to the card, you definitely shouldn't be able to see it
using the camera lcd, but could you read it back?
Got a friend or neighbor who might let you visit and put
your card in their machine?

Oh, one other thought... you are aware that the max card
size for your camera is (I forget - either 8 or 16 megs)?
Definitely no larger. Don't know what the effect of putting
a larger one in might be, but...

If you are using/trying to use a larger card, might be
interesting to see if a neighbor/friend might let you
borrow a 2/8/16 meg smart media to see what happens.

One more idea... we still have an old Sandisk sm reader
connected to an old laptop. Use it for nothing other than
mass temp storage at the lake. When that laptop was upgraded
to xp the reader refused to even be recognized, Sandisk
had no xp compatible driver, but the 2000 driver works fine.
(xp got upset about the logo thing, but still works fine)

Can't offer anything about linux; know nothing at all
about 'nix.

Take care.

Ken
