In past postings on this subject (toy cameras) we've been calling the camera "Sakar" rather than "Sakor". Also, in the past you posted different Product ID# and Vendor ID #. I think your two cameras of the perhaps the same model but DIFFERENT on the inside? Camera #1 is Product ID: 0x905c and Vendor ID: 0x2770 Manufacturer: SQ (Service & Quality) Camere #2 is Product ID: 0x0227 and Vendor ID: 0x0979 Manufacturer: Jeilin For Camera #1, I don't believe it's likely you've installed the drivers correctly. These OS X drivers were very old, so they may not work in 10.4.11, but, here we go again: The drivers were available here: <http://web.archive.org/web/20070806172233/http://www.spectraintl.com/xdlds/SS702%20OS.sit > After you expand the .sit archive you'll have a folder called "905C OSX10.1" in which there are two components. One is an OS X installer package, the other is a Quicktime component. You'll need to place the "Video905C.component" into the HD>Library>Quicktime folder. I don't think there is any ownership & permissions requirement for this, so you can just drag & drop "Video905C.component" into the HD>Library>Quicktime folder. I believe you'll need to reboot after this, but I'm not certain? The installer package will install an application called MYDSC_905C.app. Install this at the same time you add the component to Quicktime. After you've rebooted, attach the camera via USB, cross your fingers, and launch the MYDSC_905C.app and see what happens. This should only work (if it works at all?) for Camera #1, the Sakar with IDs 0x905c and 0x2770. IF this works for Camera #1, and the two cameras are VERY similar, there's a chance you could modify the application to work with Camera #2 also. To do this, you'd need to Ctl-click the application and "Show Package Contents" and then go the the "info.plist" file inside the application and add the new PID & VID to the listing. If you can't make the application work with Camera #1, there is little or no chance it would work with Camera #2, so this is something to think about IF you get Camera #1 working. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
