Nice camera. Sometimes I "borrow" works Olympus Camedia, top of the range
job.

As was I with my Canon printer with the photo cartridge in. I couldn't
believe how good they were :) Yes, the machine can still hack it.

Luckily, the Olympus I have access to has a serial connection, and I use
Digi-Cam from Aminet.

As is the nice 42 bit USB scanner attatched to my daughters PC :)

Well, seeing as you can get USB on a PCI card, quite good chances I think.
However, as always, it's the good 'ol driver problem.
We Want USB!
