Thanks for the responses everyone, I'll answer here to the last one & hope that no one gets offended.
I'm using openSUSE-10.3 64 bit, the most convenient usb plug is in a multi card reader I just installed (there are many more).
If I plug my camera in it's immediately recognized. The Removable Media KDE daemon offers to open it in a window.
If I go for it I get an eror message
"hal storage-mount-removable no <--(action, result)"
But I get it to mount with mount /dev/sdb1 /home/../usb1
no problem and can get the images.
My son has favored me with two laptop data recovery jobs,
me who has never seen a laptop before! One of them had a bios problem in need of firmware update and is back swinging but its drive never showed up as a usb either during TS.
The second one, a Hitachi 60gb, is in unknown health and the host laptop is probably kaputski.
I didn't have usbview installed so in it went. It shows
under OHCI Host Controller the camera if plugged-in, and the wingman stick which always is.
Trying dmesg -c (spinner's way) after camera connection returns
# dmesg -c

Upon camera disconnect:

# dmesg -c (after usb adaptor with disk connection)
returns nothing.
It looks like the problem is disk or adaptor. There's a metal tab on the casing of this disk which forces connection in only
one way. But if this trab were bent, or on the other disk I had trioed which didn't have such a tab, the adaptor could be connected at least in two different ways. There's no pinhole blocked out to match the missing pin on the 2.5" disk.
That's as far as I got on this run, and I have a suplementary
question. How would a partitioned drive show up if it ever did?
Would the first partition be such as /dev/sdb1, the second /dev/sdb2 etc?
I've never done this before.
