[Tfug] Digital camera and USB-->Serial adapter

[keith smith]

 I have a Kodak DC215 that I bought about 7 years ago and only used several times.  I have been wanting to use it however like you I do not have anyway to download the pictures.
 
 As I recall the serial download was not that slow.
 
 In my search I found this for your model:

 I think I will buy a replacement cable myself.

disconnected from the computer and then transfer them onto the
computer, I suggest you use a CompactFlash card reader.  They are
inexpensive, are much faster, and are simple to setup in Linux as the
CompactFlash card will be seen as a removable disk.

Thanks, I'll check that out.  My Dell laptop supports about n kinds of Compact flash cards and my camera takes the (n+1)th one.  :)
