Theoretically the camera should work, as it claims to be a USB mass
storage device.  However it needs extra software on Windows (implying to
me that there's something different about it), and one USB command times
out when I try to use it in linux.  It's a Pentax Optio 330.  I do plan
to try to fix the driver, but I really need to be able to read the cards
right now.

Ah, I didn't know about this.  Thanks.
