There seems to be some misunderstanding about my query.
The camera is a Minolta Dimage RD 3000, the only output is a 50 pin SCSI.
I can access the recorded images via the proprietary software - Digita Desktop on my laptop.
But I want to try modifying DigitaDesktop by using some additional programs and the route seems to be not available through the SCSI connection. It involves treating the memory record like a disk drive and dropping the program there.
Please, no more advice about using a card reader or saving battery power (I have a mains unit).
So I'll ask the question again. Is there any way to use Explorer to "see" the camera's memory card as an external drive via a SCSI connection?



The camera does need a SCSI-2 host adapter, presumably when
the 340 MB micro-drive is being used. What are you planning
to do? Write/adapt your own programs to write to the micro-
drive? Such an adaptation might be beyond the design of the
camera's electronics and philosophy since most of the work
with images is really done on a desktop or laptop system with
applications such as from Adobe. I'd leave the camera system
alone and treat it like the fine, professional system that it
already is.


And, BTW, the stored image is in TIFF format. Also the micro-
drive is removable and, preumably, there should be a reader
for it. Sorry but don't have time to dig deeper into Minolta's
literature and pro camera reviews for you. Besides, I shoot
only Nikons.
