That's correct.

That's what I expected. I didn't help.
Sector 96 is a little odd. 50 1K blocks
should be sector 99. (counting starts at zero)
I wonder why 96 is accessed...
This is really starting to look like it's
*NOT* really a Mass Storage Class device,
just claiming to be. (black list time?)
I noticed the windows driver setup several
other interfaces, like audio and VfW (video).
Best sugestion for now is buy 1) a memory card,
2) a card reader that works there are several.
It probably doesn't use the internal memory if a card
is loaded, but you'd have to read the manul/test to
find out. 8M isn't much room for pics at 1280x1024
any way :)

Now how did I know you were going to say that :-)

It can do streaming Audio/Video

I have a 16mb Stmart Media Card included with the pack.
Can you possibly suggest any card readers that *will* work on Linux =>
2.4.18 (ie use a specific type, usb, serial) and do they have to be
compatible with specific memory cards?
Sorry to sound vague, but I've never used one before.
Just fishing :-)..I do a google...
And if so any chance of a few quick links on getting the memory card
readers to work?
(don't worry too much about that, I just figured if you know any that
were maybe bookmarked)
