Hi Alex,
Are we talking about this camera?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canon_EOS_300D
I have one of these too, though I'm probably misunderstanding your question... Are you trying to access the pictures stored on the CF card plugged into the camera? Is something preventing the use of a CF card reader on your PC?
Maybe you're referring to some usage/feature unique to AP? If so, I'm keen to hear - my efforts to employ it have yielded poor results
If you're referring to something beyond the obvious CF card access, I'm happy to try things with mine.
Regards,
Andy.
