Does Firebird count? I run Firebird on BL2. And Gnumeric.
Anything else I'm missing?

i take it your camera doesnt have removable memory cards?

I haven't got a camera at all. But, if I do get one, it will
use CF cards (because I recently got a PCMCIA CF adapter and
have added the CF routine to BL3).

What would you do if you biked somewhere with your camera and took photos that you wanted to share immediately, and nobody there had a laptop computer? We have one desktop to which we added pcmcia controller and slot.

I made sure to get a camera (Olympus from 2000) that can transfer via serial cable using PhotoPC (for linux or for DOS and it fits on a boot disk. 60K file. But trasnferring 50MB of photos (1280 res, 200-250K each) took 6 hours so I got a USB card reader for Smartmedia cards and use David's 1-floppy boot disk instead of biking around with a laptop computer in my backpack. 100 sec transfer. Is PCMCIA any faster than USB?
