I'm sorry for asking what you may think is a total newbie
question, but
my inability to reliably get pictures off my camera has reached comical
proportions at this point. In the last few years, I've gone through
permutations of three different motherboards, three different CF
readers, and some subset of RH8, RH9, FC2, and FC3, and to this day, the
best way I've found to get pictures off my camera's card has been "plug
it into my girlfriend's mac, and use scp."
So here is my question:
Are any of you running FC3 and able to get pictures off of a
CompactFlash card at USB-2 speeds? If so, what CF reader are you
using? Because
I want to go out and buy one of those.
Hi Jamie,
I happen to have Belkin CF card reader
(

that works without problems. It's USB 1.1 so not too fast. Works with RH
9, Fedora Core 2 and 3.
My motherboard is Epox 8KHA+ with latest BIOS -- I had to update BIOS
because when the card reader was plugged in during reboot and a CF card
was in, BIOS hanged. Had to remove flash card and reboot again. No
problem after BIOS upgrade.
Regards,
Dariusz
