We were given a USB camera (takes a standard USB cable) and today we got 
for it cheap both a PCMCIA card adaptor (which will let us transfer photos 
via BL3 and the newer laptop) and a parallel port adaptor for which 
datafab provides software for DOS and for Win3.1 through 2000 and ME (not 
XP).  You plug the gadget into the printer port and also into the keyboard 
port (for power) and then plug printer and keyboard into it.

Can the parport adaptor be used somehow with BL2 as an external hard 
drive?  If not, DOS is fine.

Our problem is that the camera did not seem to like the format that came 
on the 10MB card which was in the PCMCIA adaptor.  What format would a 
camera want?  We could try to format it with BL3 fdisk via the PCMCIA 
adaptor.  The camera told us it was formatting but it did not succeed.
