Quicktake 150 software

[bibilit]

I decided to have a look at my 150 this week-end.

A couple of years ago worked fine in a 7500 (IIRC) but tried in a Powerbook 145, a 170 and a 3400 without success.

The 145 is probably too weak in the ram side, the 170 worked as far as trying to create the icons, but didn't go any further and i had to reset the Powerbook manually.

In the 3400 (Mac Os 9) the process probably didn't worked because the Quicktime files were replaced with earlier versions.

I remember having troubles in the first place with the 7500.

Any help welcome.

I have succesfully load mine qt 150 on IIsi with System 7.1, it is probably something wrong with camera? qt200 needs 040 or PPC

Hi my friend,

Well worked for me last time, but remember having troubles loading the software already at that time.

To be honest my copy of disk 3 is not detected properly, but is not mandatory for the drivers to work (only for the Photoflash software) so doing a custom install with only the drivers worked fine each and every time.

The fact that the Powerbook 170 goes a little further in the process let me think that maybe the 170 is also a bit weak in the memory side (IIRC 8 Mb of virtual memory should be activated, not sure this is the case right now)

Concerning the 3400, booting Mac OS 9, and the QT150 doesn't play nice with Mac Os 9, even with 8 by the way.

 QuickTake 150 software installs old version of QuickTime PowerPlug extension

Mac OS 8.5 includes a new version of the QuickTime PowerPlug for computers with PowerPC microprocessors. The QuickTake 150 Installer replaces it with an older version (version 2.0). To install the QuickTake 150 software, first remove the newer version of the QuickTime PowerPlug extension from the Extensions folder (within the System Folder) then install the QuickTake 150 software. After installation is finished, drag the PowerPlug file back to the Extensions folder replacing the older one.

Tried again this evening.

The virtual memory was cranked up, and loading the program twice worked this time.

Photoflash is not present in the hard drive, so can't see the pictures, the 170 has the tunnel vision problem also, so more to come...

Another copy of the software (apparently several disks went bad) and it worked flawlessly in a Powerbook 160.

The process is very slow...really slow.

but was able to have a look at pretty old pictures..and new ones.

Quality is pretty poor,was able to copy some pictures and my C2D Imac is able to let me see a preview (icon size), but not the full size picture.

It looks like you've got it working now, yay!

Photoflash isn't strictly speaking needed for the quicktakes, because with that extension you can copy images directly from the camera and use another tool for viewing and organizing.

I need to look at my 180, I don't recall whether or not I was using virtual memory, but I do have 14MB of memory installed in it.

I did get the camera working on my 1400c/166 with 7.6.1, but I don't remember whether I've gotten it running on anything newer.
