Itwould  be nice to have a 2-floppy BL that supports both copying files 
from an ntfs file system and usb-storage so as to transfer photos directly 
from a USB camera or memory card reader, and 2.2.16 does not do USB 
storage, but we could first copy to hard drive with XP andthen networkwith 
an older ntfs-capable BL.


I tried running a network setup wizard, set XP to share files and 
printers, and it still complains about a bad connection.  it obviously 
sees the connection (it sets itself to 10 MBit/sec instead of 100MBit/sec, 
to match my pcmcia card) but tells me the cable is not plugged in. 
Perhaps it was being discarded by the local school system because of a bad 
network port, not just the floppy drive with a piece of floppy disk stuck 
in it.

Can anyone on this list try networking between BL and XP and if it works, 
report the details?

We have a neighbor who uses Windows and linux.  I will ask him for help 
when we get back from our trip.

The simplest solution to taking digital photos on a trip is a larger 
memory card so you do not need to download.
