Looking for a "known good" / working download of the software for a QuickTake 150

So I recently picked up a nearly-complete-in-box Apple QuickTake 150 camera from our very own @Brett B. - the kit arrived in fine shape and the camera seems to be working nicely. However, I've run into an unexpected snag: every attempt to get the required software installed and working on my Color Classic II fails - it seems that the only editions available to download are corrupted in some way or another. Disk images fail to mount, checksum errors, etc. - I've tried every version I can find and I'm having no luck. I've tried multiple downloads from MacintoshGarden and from MacintoshRepository (which seems to be hosting copies of the same corrupted files from the Garden), but I keep striking out.

Can anyone hook me up with a "known good" copy of the QuickTake 150 software? I'd be very grateful!

I had the exact same problem a couple of months ago. 





should have a copy of the French software if you don’t mind. 

But probably someone has another good copy to. 

IIRC disks should have the exact same name the original had, failure to do so will not work.

I ran into the image corruption deal with the 'Garden download too but I just disabled error checking when I mounted the images with Disk Copy... all four images mounted correctly, the software installed and it seemed to work fine.  I'd guess that Disk Copy think they're corrupted but they're really not.

Ahh, that makes some sense - I'll try that strategy on my lunch break later!

Thanks - I'm really grateful for the good deal + robust packing job + quick shipping you did here :)
