Bill,

would like to help you, but the two cameras I had have gone back to the
store already - they didn't pass my tests :(
Do you really think it's a good idea to rely on floppies these days? 
I have had very bad experiences during the last months, quality doesn't
seem to be an issue anymore now that everybody has a Zip drive or
Memory Sticks or Compact Flash.
I'd suggest to find something that works with PCMCIA or CF, there are
nice adapters, and they are supported broadly (memsticks require
special hard- and software, and since you're sparc-bound...)
