Sufficient clue, thanks Chris.  First the bigger HD and the 4.10-R
install, but it's looking like the lil gadget might become useable. 

FWIW, the referenced Digital Camera Support for UN*X page at

 http://www.teaser.fr/~hfiguiere/linux/digicam.html

shows these USB codes as belonging to an 'Emprex 3600' or 'Emprex 3800',
the latter said to be supported by 'gphoto2/mars (usb)', although the
gphoto2 list itself doesn't mention it, yet.  The win s/w detected some
mention of 'mars', so the answer so far seems to be a definite maybe! 

Cheers, Ian
