Subject: Re: [Astro_IIDC] Leopard and Astro IIDC
Dear Wolfgang;
No we don't and I can't trouble shoot anything without Leopard here. It will be weeks before our copy of Leopard arrives to try and figure out what they broke this time.
Apple breaks everything each time they do a new release - they don't test anything with 3rd party code or applications and frankly, the barely test their own code.

Hi Milton,
Saturday I installed Leopard on my MacBook Pro (Intel Dual 2.4 GHZ with 4GB memory) and it seems that the program does not find the TIS DBK 21xxx camera anymore.
The message is:
User error
No IIDC Cameras are available to use
I will do some more checks Monday.
Do you have any troubleshooting tips for me ?
Regards
Wolfgang
Hi Folks;
It will be a few weeks before I see my copy of Leopard so I can see if
it breaks Astro IIDC or not.
Apple only sent 10 copies to the local London Drugs Apple dealer here
and they were gone quickly. Re-supply will be in about 2 weeks.
So I ordered a copy off of Amazon.ca for $10 CDN cheaper than Apple or
other retailers sells it for, but it will take time to get here.
I would strongly suggest caution with Leopard and you can follow the
issues that other people have encountered (especially denial of login
if your password is > 8 characters) at:
and a good practical install strategy is at:

Also if you have any classic apps you need to use (like my Apple
developer tools which Apple never upgraded and still require us to use
for building QuickTime components) then stay with Tiger as Classic is
gone for PowerPC.
TTYL..
