Kodak is about the only DC maker that DOES document their interfaces -
you have to register as a developer to get the info, but last time I
looked it's free to do this (they even sent me a T Shirt!).=20
Look for DRG (Developer Resource Group ? ) - I think Kodak's DC
division has a seperate website from the rest of Kodak.

I don't know if it would be possible to wake the camera from standby
via the serial port.
