smartcards and software

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Imaging Resource Discussion : One Thread

I recently purchased a fuji 4700 for my office. I did a vast amount of research on the product determining it would meet my needs. The literature stated that the camera came with a smartcard and USB cable for downloading to your computer if you had a windows or mac environment. I work in a windows NT environment. I ordered and received the camera and was very suprised to read in the literature provided by Fuji that the transfer of images would only work if you had windows 98. Does anyone know a way around this problem? Do all smartcards work only in windows98. Sales persons and distirbutors are not aware of this problem and sell products in which they have limited knowledge crfeating a great deal of heatburn when you have to spend more time figuring out how to fix a problem that shouldn't exist or make the public aware that their products have sever limitations. Thanks in advance for your help.
