I have a problem:
Background: The Sony Mavica Digital camera is I believe at present unique
in that it stores images on a normal floppy (dos formatted) disk. This is
very convenient for students doing www work in particular.
I advised the purchase of one at work as we have PCs and Macs which can, of
course, read PC disks. The files are saved in JPEG format. No problem:-((

Despite trying several formatted disks (by PC) the Mac will not read the
JPEG file *properly* It always reports the following error:

jpeg. marker segment too short

I have Graphic converter, photoshop and various other JPEG readers so i am
sure the problem is not there.

At present I have tried the disks on an LC475 and a G3 both running system
8.

The PCs read the JPEGS without a problem (groan)

My problem is whether to send the camera back as faulty or whether there
might be an inherent problem with the Mac and the Mavica.

Any other experiences?
