Hi Peter,

PK>The catch with Memory sticks that look like HD's is that they need

PK>OS/2 FAT32 driver only seems to work for PARTITIONED media, so you
PK>need to PARTITION the Memory Stick first, however standard OS/2
PK>tools won't let you do this for removable media devices (such as USB
PK>memory sticks).

OK, I want it to look like a HD so I can make backups to it(them).
Apparently I'll have to bother one of my daughters to get it partitioned
and formated. FAT is good enough for me.

PK>A Better solution (IMHO) is to flip my Camera into PTP mode and use
PK>the OS/2 program Cameraderie (available on Hobbes) that "talks"
PK>natively (IE no specific drivers required) to the Camera via USB and
PK>leaves the Memory card in the Windows native mode.

I don't trust any magnetic or CD media for long time storage so what
I photograph I do it with film cameras. Even color negatives can be
stored for many tens of years and black and white for maybe hundreds.

Thanks for your advice and experience. I have saved the message.

Have a nice day,

Holger
