IICI can't connect to QuickTake 100 or 150 H.E.L.P!
Every time I try to connect to the cameras I get an error.
I have a IICI, no internal cards installed, only an apple brand monitor and apple brand keyboard and apple brand mouse connected.
For this project I have taken all cards out of the iici and disconnected all peripherals. (Except where noted above).
I erased the hard drive and loaded system 7.1 using the 'easy install'.
I then installed the 4 disc QuickTake 150 software using 'easy install'. This installed a control panel item called 'QuickTake image access QuickTake software 2.0.2' and a folder on the hard drive that contained many folders and a program called 'Apple photoflash version 2.0.1'.
The only software that has been installed is the system 7.1 and the QuickTake 150.
The iici has a 500mb internal HD with 17 mb ram (probably 4 X 4mb and 4x256kb) AppleTalk is inactive, filesharing is off, virtual memory is off.
I launch photoflash then connect the camera (I repeat these same steps for the 100 and the 150) to the printer port, then turn the camera on, then from the photoflash menu go to script/QuickTake scripts/get all images which gives me the following error. 'There was a problem connecting to the QuickTake camera. Please make sure that the camera is connected and turned on. If the camera is attached to a port in use by AppleTalk, please turn AppleTalk off and try again.'
I then repeat this same set up but try connecting to the modem port.
I then try using the control panel. I go to the apple menu/control panels/QuickTake image access
After it launches, I connect the camera (I repeat the same steps for the 100 and the 150) to the printer port and click 'connect to camera' I get the following error 'there was a problem connecting to the QuickTake camera. Please make sure that the camera is connected and turned on.'
I then repeat this same set up but try connecting to the modem port.
Further troubleshooting:
I verified that the cable is pinned correctly by checking continuity.
Both cameras correctly go into the connecting mode on the camera display. (The lines go around in a square.)
I have tried the exact same things as described above: erasing the hard drive (using the system install disk tools disk) and then installing system 7.5.
Then updating to system 7.5.5.
I have tried this with system 7.0.1 but the software said it required a minimum of system 7.1 so I was unable to use 7.0.1 for any testing.
Additional information.
I bought the iici on eBay and then redid the capacitors.
I put in a replacement powersupply from a power mac 7100.
Both of the cameras were non functioning due to heavy corrosion in the battery compartment. However after cleaning, I disassembled them and found the insides were minty fresh.
After cleaning both powered on without trouble.
Also both cameras had pictures still on them from the previous owner. (Further proving that the cameras function.)
I was also able to take pictures with both of the cameras. (More evidence of fully functioning cameras.)
I grew up with system 7.x-9.2, but have been on OS X since 2000. My belief is that there is something obvious that I am overlooking. There must be a setting or an additional piece of software that I need?
Can anyone please help!!!
