I used the same port as my mouse (it works).

Found my camera.

I had to select "PC Connect" from my camera's onscreen menu.

I think it should be: --port=/dev/ttyS0

It seems to be working fine. Here's what I did step
by step in BL3.
----------------------------------------------------
unzip bl3-40.zip
boot
pkg /DOS/baslin/gphoto2.tgz
insmod cdrom
insmod ide-cd
insmod isofs
mount /dev/hdc /mnt
pkg /mnt/slakware/a7/ldso.tgz
gphoto2 --list-cameras
gphoto2 --port=/dev/ttyS1 --camera="Kodak DC3200" -P
----------------------------------------------------
Then it transfered all 20 files from the camera.
Well done, David, it works fine with my DC3200.
Thank you for making this available to us.

My I suggest that you add the necessary stuff from
ldso.tgz to your gphoto2.tgz. That would make the
installation much simpler for users.

Cheers,
Steven
