ok i did some hacking on the walgreess version and here's what i have done.. first thanks to zonyl for getting me some cameras to mess with..
ok if you look at http://www.linux-hacker.net/html/gallery/website/p d_board_hr_back_mod you will see there is a daughter board on there with the nand flash for picture storage.. if you remove that board you can add a smartmedia socket and using smartmedia card you will be able to get the pics with a smartmedia reader standard jpg's but it will not do more that 25 pics still (think its using fat12)..
also there is a serial port there labeled rs232 it a ttl level serial port.. pin 1 rx []square on board pin 2 tx pin 3 gnd pin 4 data out ?? for lcd ?? video ??
if you hook up a max232 type chip to the board and a pc , in a term program hit space bar and the camera will return a 0x01 hex (looks like it does autobaud rate) and if you hit the - key twice it will trigger the flash and count the remaining counter down but does not write to flash. and if you send a 029 dec (hold alt and type 029 on keypad then release alt) if will change the format of the data coming out on pin 4..( dont know yet )
so far thats all i got in one night..

here are some pic to get a better idea of how it works daughter card removed http://www.linux-hacker.net/html/gallery/ website/r es44442 smartmedia socket added http://www.linux-hacker.net/html/gallery/we bsite/r es44441 here it is complete. http://www.linux-hacker.net/html/galler y/website/r es44443 another one http://www.linux-hacker.net/html/gallery/webs ite/r es44445
