Well, I have zero experience with this device, but in another lifetime I 
used to do a lot of technical develpment (coding & sup****t) of SCSI on 
PCs, specifically with ASPI.

So, a question: when you plug the camera in and start the computer, do 
you see the device come up at boot time in the list of devices displayed 
by ASPI?

Have you tried using the ASPI BIOS utilities? These are accessed by 
pressing <mumble mumble> at boot time (I forget which keys; there should 
be a prompt somewhere saying something like "F3 for utilities" or 
something like that). I seem to remember that you can do things like 
low-level bus scans to see what's "talking" on the bus with them.
