I have never gotten my card reader to work. W98SE sees it but says
there is a problem. Whenever I have loaded USB in OS/2 I loose the NIC.

>>Megabyte AVI files seem to copy as fast as HDD to HDD.

Faster, actually. I put 100 JPEGs - 20M total - in a dir. Speed to
copy depends on OS and tool used.

HDD 2 to a dir on HDD 1, times are in sec;
OS/2
FC/2 - 5
EF Cmdr - 10
LC - 7
NC DOS - 3

W98SE
FC/W - 6
EF Cmdr - 1

Camera to dir on HDD1, reading from 256M SD, times in sec
W98SE
FC/W - 1.5
EF Cmdr - <1
NC DOS - 0.5

Those were all small files. I tried a single twelve Meg file; Cam to
HDD less then one sec. I tried a single ninety two Meg file;

16 sec HDD to HDD.
30 sec across net.
3:30 HDD to camera
1:30 camera to HDD.

The twelve Meg file it copies in a single piece. The large file it
did in pieces. That slowed it way down.

Shutting down Win with the Camera still plugged in confused the
camera. I unplugged and shut off the camera, restarted Win, plugged
in the camera, deleted the files, all is well.

NISIS, 4.1 Meg, still, video, MP3, USB. British. About the size of a
pack of cigs.
