I'm going to buy the Mustek DV 4000 Digital Camcorder from SR soon but a certain question has been bugging me.
I've seen digital camera memory cards being used on XP, and it recognises them as an extra drive, and transfer seems simple. I'm running Win98se as I think its far more stable than XP/ME.
Is there a way I can have win98 recognise the camera memory as another drive? And if so, then how?

Thanks!

My Sony camera runs as a drive.

Gonna use it on these PCs here, they've got USB ports, so I can get super-fast downloads!

The reason i haven't used it is because it is my little bros xmas present. But i was looking at it today, its really small but you get earphones, tripod and Tv connection with it.

Very Good Buy!

I have a DV4000 digi cam. Haven't used it, but most cameras nowadays run as a mounted drive. My Fuji-Film does.

Yep, well i've had my computer on for a week and it didnt lock up, so I guess It could have managed an extra week.
Plus I don't think XP in general is less stable than 98se, but just with my hardware it is. Thats something I forgot to mention in my original post.

You are categorically wrong.

Anyway I think you can mount it as a drive, yes, but most of the time it depends on the camera.

win98 is more stable than win ME - yes i'll give you that, but More stable than XP, i dont think so, can windows 98 run for 2 weeks non-stop without one lock-up???,

neway, as for your memory card question, yes it should work like xp on 98se
