How do I get my old ST-8300C to work on my Mac as red light won't come on unless I first jump start it on a PC then switch usb plug into my mac??? I've tried CCDops lite and SkyXPro, nebulosity 4 etc. Pretty sure it must be a driver issue as my STF-8300M works fine on all these programs.
These cameras have their USB firmware loaded by the PC when you first plug it in. Adam is working on updated Mac drivers. Please see this thread: http://forum.diffractionlimited.com...-sbig-universal-drivers.368/page-4#post-17591
Great thanx Doug. Must be a real nightmare keeping everything running on the different platforms. Any news on whether MaxIM-DL will ever be ported across to the mac OSX. I believe I asked a few years ago when you guys first purchased SBIG and there were no plans then.
We actually are slowly working in that direction, but it's going to take years to complete. The code base we have now was developed over more than 20 years. Most of that time we've had several programmers working on it. It's a huge program!
