Shawn,
We have a Kodak DC 120 (1260x1024) at work and use Winduhs NT 4.0, In
doing some research I have found that there are indeed better ways to
download images. The cheapest is an ISA adapter that reads the flash
card for as little as $50-60 I don't remeber the speed her but it is
much slower than SCSI.
Next is the USB readers real fast, (no good for NT) these are about $100
Lastly is the SCSI reader (might need a $40-50 card) for about $200
Advertising claims 1000x faster than Serial. I think most SCSI systems
max. out around 10 Mbits/sec so this may be a little optimistic.
We are probably going with the SCSI route because it is also the fastest
available to NT. When we finally make a decision I will let the list
know of our results.
