I'm kinda looking at this from the "other end of the telescope," in that I have
not purchased any digital camera yet, but did get a USB hub and one of those
6-in-1 reader gizmos. So tell me, WHICH -- if any -- of the digital card storage
formats is KNOWN to function well under OS2 / eCS, with one or another
of the available drivers ?

Is this apt to be an issue with ANY of the media formats under USB with OS/2 ?
Is the very slow xfer speed someone mentioned also going to be a fact we just have to live with ?
(The hub I got is USB 2.0. If it's fast under Win-32, I don't see where there should be any excuse
for poor performance under OS/2.)
