Ok thanks. I'll try the other method then.

I do have the software discs, but it seems as though they are in japanese. I've tried installing software before with wine to no success. It might be possible to install it though, since the discs are win 3.1/95. I'll let you know if that solved my problem... However, that point might be moot if I can use the data mds on a hi-md player. Is there a definite yes or no on this?

Any suggestions on how I might be able to upload pictures from the camera to my linux system?

I have a sharp MD camera that uses data minidiscs to take pictures. I was wondering if a Hi-Md player would have the capability of transfering my picture data from the Hi-Md player to my computer. Also, from what I understand, Hi-Md players can be used as pseudo-harddrives with a usb cable. Will I be able to transfer data from a Hi-Md player to a linux based system or vise-versa? Thank you in advance.
