I know of no current plans to officially support these configurations,
and all of the code necessary is not available within V8.2 or earlier
releases -- as Forrest says in another reply, please let Sue Skonetski
and Mark Gorham know if this addition is a product requirement.
We have had various informal discussions among various of the OpenVMS
engineers involved, of course.
:> USB is standard, as well as the DOS FAT disk format.
Thanks for the laugh! :-) But seriously, the world is filled with
buggy USB devices, and with buggy FAT implementations.
USB is, after all, little more than a way to send SCSI packets over a
hot-pluggable serial bus, and we all know how much "fun" traditional
(and non-hot-pluggable) SCSI can be.
Most cameras will be using FAT16 or FAT28 (the latter format is often
somewjat confusingly refered to as FAT32 :-), and many of the FAT tools
around are limited to FAT12; to the floppy-sized volumes. Cameras tend
to use either FAT16 or FAT28.
How we might know (any of) this is left to the imagination of the reader.
