If you download QuickTime 7.04 and OSX 10.4.4, then the PGR camera

recognized (busg in their Confirgorm code),  after I had 4 arguments  

with the QT and FireWire engineers and finally talked to the head  

Engineer of Apple FireWire to get it fixed (only had to wait 8 months  

and 3 revisions for them to fix it).. But Neither IOXperts nor Apples  

let you set exposure times directly. QuickTime basically isn't suited  

to doing what you want. I've forced it to do so for other clients  

with other cameras , but it simply isn't a workable Architecture.

Yeah.  When I plug in the Flea, iChat opens up.  I always quit, but maybe I should play with 

that and verify it works?
