It doesn't work either with Polaroid  PDC 2300Z - I've tried
with both serial and usb ports ;
On serial port I've got "Transmission of packet timed out". 

I could help with providing traces of what the driver provided
with the camera does.
Just let mi know hoh to to this ;)

It doesn't workes for me with the soundvision driver; I've
already tried it out;

Anyway:
I found something like this on the web, perheps it helps :

"The pictures from Aug 31, 2001, and after are from a
Polaroid PDC 2300Z. This camera was manufactured by Premier
Image Technology Corp. (Pretec) of Taiwan and is also sold
as the Premier DC2000 and the Vivitar ViviCam 3655. It has
2.3 megapixels and a 2X analog zoom. It also has a 2X
digital zoom, but I can blow up pictures on my PC just as
well. I got the camera for a little over $200 from
http://ubid.com . I set that as my limit because I didn't
want to have a camera that was so expensive that I would
worry about it. I suspect that all digital cameras are about
the same. "

The source is: http://williambader.com/camera/camera.html

I'll try it out and tell U abaut the results ...

you may want to try with the "soundvision" driver that
already support Pretec DC-530. Just a guess, but worth trying.
You can check by adding "--usbid 0x784:0x2000=0x784:0x530"
to gphoto2 command line. If that works, then it is a
"soundvision" OEM.

It does not look like a known camera. I think that one
should start to provide traces of what the driver provided
with the camera do to start either indentifying the protocol
or reverse engineer it.

are you an expert in crystal gazing ?

We need at least some clue about this camera, like the
output of lsusb or the content of /proc/bus/usb/devices
That would only allow to guess about the possible OEM origin.
