Re: SCSI connection

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Thanks for that.
Minolta adopted the DigitaDesktop program for handling the images and camera
for the RD3000. This included a program for the remote control of the camera
from the PC with timed exposures with a minimum interval of 10 mins. Since
then Digita has been released for development and a number of programs have
been written that include some that allow for different time intervals.
Unfortunately none of them allow for access via SCSI only serial, USB and
Firewire. Thats why I'm looking for SCSI access.

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.
