I'm about to purchase a digital camera (EPSON PhotoPC-500) but I wonder if someone has written a userland application to download the snapshots from the camera via the serial port. Epson says the PhotoPC is providing a "twain" driver for Windoze, but I don't have windoze installed on my system (and don't want to, neither!). Is there any brave soul out there who already did this (even for a different brand/model of camera) ?. If not, I'm willing to write it myself but I don't know the protocol used to transfer images from the camera to the host (FreeBSD box actually). What I need is either a source code, either some documentation or some pointers to it. TIA, Philippe. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------- P.
