Hi folks, hope someone can help, I'm at my wits end with this...!
Bought a dinky little digital camera on eBay for my kid — Fuji iX-100, think it was discontinued about 3 or 4 years ago. Nice and cheap (Stg£16 delivered), grand little point-and-shoot w/ flash and a bit of extra memory - but no software. Grand, I thought, it's an USB device, I shouldn't need any drivers under WinXP...
Only problem is WinXP doesn't recognise it and can't install an appropriate driver, so doesn't recognise the device. I've googled left right and centre, I've been all over the Fujifilm websites (.com, .co.uk and .jp) and the model isn't even listed in the drivers/downloads sections, although I did manage to get a full manual for it...
The only links Google is throwing up is to some very technical-looking (for me! [broken link removed] ) Linux/Unix forums where people are asking the same thing as me : "Where can I download a driver for this thing?!?". I tried a thing called gphoto2, but no joy. I emailed Fuji tech support, but I haven't got anything back yet. And, as luck would have it, old reliable www.driverguide.com seems to be acting up at the moment and won't let me sign in, so no luck there for the moment, either. I have tried a couple of other other Fuji XP driver downloads, but they're for later Finepix models and they don't do squat for this little lady... [broken link removed]
Anybody got any suggestions? (other than "buy a card reader"! I don't have any other use for a SmartMedia reader...)
TIA,
