Subject: Re: [Astro_IIDC] IMaging Source Firmware Update for Mac


Hi Mike;


The Mac version of the updater was never officially released. I helped with some testing of it on Intel / PowerPC Macs, however it "ate" one of the TIS cameras I had here. By "Ate" I mean the camera was no longer recognized on the FireWire bus as a FireWire device (configrom was "gone") and had to be shipped back to Germany for replacement.


There may be a Windows XP version of the updater, but you'll have to ask "The Imaging Source" about that and be using BootCamp to run it. I don't think Parallels works with FireWire.


And I would not be "flashing" the camera except if they tell you to do so with their current flashing tools. If you load the wrong firmware, then it may no longer even show up as a camera and will be "Eaten", requiring you to ship it back.


Hope That Helps..
