[Duo2400] Duo for Photo Downloads

[Robert R. Daniel]

There is not a huge range of solutions, but it is possible
to find FlashPath "smart card" readers in the format of a 
Duo floppy disk.  You load it into the disk drive (with 
the appropriate software installed) and you can move
JPG files from your smart card to the Duo hard drive.

I am not aware of similar readers for Compact Flash
cards.

I have successfully used a FlashPath on a Duo 2300c,
but I am sure the solution will work for a 280c as 
well.  Other possiblities include downloading to another
computer (perhaps a friend's), the transferring to to
the Duo via ethernet or zip disk.  But to download
directly to the Duo will take an appropriate device
and there are not many solution other than networking
or removable media if you want to use a recent-vintage
digital camera.

Hope this helps.

Robert
