using vivitar vivicam 3610 on linux

this document show how to set up the vivitar vivicam 3610 to work with linux.

requirements / patching

you will need the kernel source. add the following entry to drivers/usb/storage/unusual_devs.h

UNUSUAL_DEV(  0x0461, 0x0822, 0x0000, 0x9999,
                "Vivitar",
                "Vivicam 3610",
                US_SC_SCSI, US_PR_BULK, NULL,
                US_FL_START_STOP | US_FL_FIX_INQUIRY | US_FL_MODE_XLATE),

now configure the kernel with:

USB Devices Mass Storage support=m
SCSI disc support=m
MSDOS fs support=y

and recompile/install

using the camera

load the modules: modprobe modprobe usb-storage and modprobe sd_mod
mount the camera: mkdir /mnt/camera and mount -t msdos /dev/sda1 /mnt/camera
thats it!
