[G4] Digital camera/G4 problem

[Richard Smykla]

Joe,

Check to see that you have the following extensions installed in your 
System extensions folder:

Foreign File Access
ISO 9660 File Access

Also, possibly:
USB Mass Storage Support

I say possibly, because I'm not sure if this functionality was 
'rolled into' another system extension in the final OS9.2 version. 
Have you also installed the software that cam with your Nikon and 
Sandisk reader? I know mine installed a number of extensions with 
names like:

USBSanDiskSSFDCShim
USBSanDiskSSFDCDriver
USBSanDiskMultiMediaCardShim
USBSanDiskMultiMediaCardDriver

and :

Nikon View Extension
Nikon E990 USB Driver
Nikon E990 Shim
Nikon E990 Driver
Nikon CoolPix Extension
Nikon Common Driver


Whew. . . glad I moved to OS X a while ago. You're probably tired of 
hearing this, but what are you waiting for?

Rick
