This sounds ideal.  I have no experience with DOS USB (or USB in general). 
Did you need some driver(s) in config.sys (uhci.sys or ohci.sys) and what 
else?  Would it work with other cameras?  Is this mass-storage USB?
I got a long list of mass storage cameras including D-510 and E-10 and a 
lot of C- models.

I have not heard of this - is it freeware?  I did not know you can move 
pictures TO a camera.

We have this - I use it with lynx as a viewer in DOS on a 3MB RAM 
computer.  I got it from Bobcat.

James from the list offered to send us to semi-working USB cameras which 
we hope to learn on before buying our own.

Perfect - this leaves 800K for 16 photos.

What you have is much smaller than linux.
