PERQs or PDP11s?
If you have a serial port, yes; they used to make serially-attached
digital cameras. Alternately, if you can mount a Compact Flash on
your platform, many digital cameras still write to CF cards, commonly
with some flavor of FAT filesystem.
Fine, suggest the *easy* solution. I liked mine better. ;)
IIRC, Tony has a highly hacked up PC/AT, which should be trivial to get
to work with CF, just get a 16-bit IDE card and an IDE to CF adapter for
a couple $$ of eBay. (Or he can wire one up, but the parts will likely
cost more than the whole adapter does).
