-This is an overview of how to use the "dc2xx" USB driver with certain
-digital still cameras from Kodak and other vendors.
-
-
-CAMERAS
-
-This driver will mostly be used with Kodak DC-2xx series digital still
-cameras, but it should be trivial to tell it about several non-Kodak
-USB-enabled cameras.
-
-You'll most likely want to hook it up to recent versions of "gPhoto"
-(www.gphoto.org), since version 0.4 and later know how to use it to talk
-to Kodak DC-240 and DC-280 cameras over USB.
-
-In addition the DC-260, DC-265, and DC-290 are currently recognized.
-However, like other cameras using the "Digita OS" (from www.flashpoint.com)
-there is no gPhoto support for this camera.  At this writing the best
-known support for these cameras is a Python script that supports image
-downloading from those cameras.  (See archives of the linux-usb mailing
-list.)  The DC-220 should also work with this driver, given information
-about the USB product IDs.  When it becomes available, the HP PhotoSmart
-C500 should also work ... it's another Digita OS camera with USB support.)
-
-It's likely that other digital still cameras can also use this USB driver,
-even if they're not from Kodak and don't use Digita.  The reason is that
-most currently known USB still camera protocols treat USB like a faster
-packet-carrying connection than a serial line, which is exactly how this
-driver looks to an application.
-
-
-USB HARDWARE
-
-This has been shown to work on x86 OHCI and UHCI (Intel) chipsets.  OHCI has
-been trouble free; not so with UHCI, which was first seen to be happy with
-2.3.24 kernels, and has not been as fast as OHCI.
-
-Note that in some cases changes in BIOS settings may be needed before
-your USB works.  At least one user has reported a need for SMP-related 
-settings as well.
-
-As yet, no reports have come from Linux users on non-Intel hardware.
-(You could color coordinate your iMac with a DC-240i ... :-)
-
-
-SETUP
-
-Configure in the DC2XX USB driver, and have it in your kernel.  Recently I
-compile it right in, but I've done it as a module in the past.
-
-Create a device, perhaps like this (both read and write):
-
-    # mknod -m 0666 /dev/kodak c 10 170
-
-That "170" is not formally assigned, and this command may change.  If you're
-using a non-Kodak camera, you may prefer another name.
-
-Don't plug in more than one compatible camera at this time.  One of them
-will be ignored, but I'd not be sure which one!
-
-
-SANITY TESTING
-
-First:  if you've got /proc support, make sure that the driver has hooked
-itself up correctly.
-
-    - you should see an entry in /proc/misc for the a Kodak DC-2xx
-      minor device number
-
-    - you should see an entry in /proc/bus/usb/drivers for "dc2xx",
-      if you also enabled USB /proc support.
-
-Second:  when you connect your camera to the computer, does it get recognized
-by the driver?
-
-    - if you've got /proc/bus/usb/devices, you should see an entry
-      something like this.  The "ProdID" may be different if you didn't
-      plug in a DC-240, but the "Driver=dc2xx" had better be there.

-
-    - if you don't have /proc support for USB, see if "dmesg" output
-      tells you that you plugged in your camera.

-
-Third:  (optional) can you use gPhoto to talk to the camera?
-
-    - When you configure your camera, tell it to use "/dev/kodak" (or
-      whatever name you used).  Right now, gPhoto emits a diagnostic
-      message (non-GUI) saying that it since it didn't act like a TTY,
-      it's assuming it's got a USB connection.
-
-    - With the camera turned on, get the "camera summary".  It'll
-      talk to the camera -- and tell you you're using USB.
-
-If you got that far, you should be able to use everything fine.
