wine users - Feb 2001 - Camera Communications

I have an Olympus camera which communicates with the software through
a special cable connected to COM2:. The software works in WINE, but it
won't communicate with the camera, it says my COM: settings are wrong,
but I've tried changing settings to about every combination possible
with no luck. Any ideas? Has anyone gotten this type of camera to work
in WINE?

Thanks,
BIll K.

I've not tried camera software in WINE, but many (perhaps most) digital
cameras are supported by the native gPhoto (http://www.gphoto.org,
IIRC). It's still beta, but good enough for casual use, at least in my
experience with a Kodak DC-240.
