You may place the file on a flash card with a flash card reader.

I can control the camera exposure using WinXP.
I want try to modify the existing Digita program but I need to drop a new program into a folder on the CompactFlashcard. But as I have said previously it doesn't seem possible to access the camera as an external drive using Explorer.

NO. CF isn't discontinued ! I am sorry to confuse you. The camera is discontinued !
The last OS supported was NT4. That means Win2K and WinXP are not supported thus I put in
another post...
"I understand the idea of controlling the camera exposure by the PC. If you want to do this
I suggest a Notebook using Win98/WinME where the OS is supported.
A USB v2.0 memory card reader can be had ~$20.00."
I understand your problem exactly. Because you failed to post the make and model of the
camera in your original post, I found it incredulous to have a camera with SCSI interface.
However it was a fact. Considering the hardware and the time frame, SCSI was the fastest
interface. But SCSI is a more complex issue that a serial port or Today's USB or FireWire
interfaces. You NEED SCSI software. There is no vendor related SCSI software produced for
this camera (SCSI device) for the OS (WinXP) hence; your problem.
As for CF. When your camera came out, a 32MB CF card was all the rage. Now you can't even
use a 32MB CF card -- it's too bloody small. Yours is a 2.7MP camera. Mine is a 6.3MP
camera. If you take pactures in RAW format, you use space fast. Your camera supports JPEG
and TIFF formats. CF is availble in 1GB and 4GB sizes at very reasonable prices. perfect
for a dSLR.
Again reading a CF card in a memory card reader (USB v2.0 or FireWire) will be faster than
SCSI-2 was and that would be your solution for downloading pictures. For having camera
software control the camera it would require a notebook a Notebook using Win98/WinME and a
PCMCIA SCSI interface or a USB to SCSI converter or a notebook with built-in SCSI.
