After hauling in the iBook to get large files via a jack, it occurred to me that I could probably Netscape-download to my digital camera (Olympus C4000, 128 meg memory card), USB-ed into a lab box. This worked, either by saving the download directly to the camera or by saving to the desktop followed by a drag-copy to the camera. Both OS's detected and recognized the camera immediately, treating it as a no-name device. OS X put it on the desktop, Windows under MyComputer.
I guess I shouldn't be surprised but I am, certainly by the simplicity.
