Summary: Any chance for IEEE1394 PTP for old DCS 6** Kodaks?

Initial Comment:
Would love to dedicate one of these for continuous time-lapse capture, as it's quite a good sensor and takes good glass (and it'd kill me to put a current Nikon or Canon on that brutal duty).

I'd be willing to help hack the code, but I've never looked at this code base and I don't know where to start.

Message:
probably not as bad ...


do you have some traces how it communicates?

does the camera otherwise appear as SCSI/Mass Storage device on the
ieeee1394 bus?
If yes, it might be tunneling PTP over SCSI

Message:
First, you'd need a ieee1394 "port" driver (like we have for USB)

Then if it is PTP it shouldn't be too hard. If it is something else, then
good luck, reverse engineering will be needed.
