Hello List, My name is Peter Birch and I am a Birmingham based photographer working for advertising and design clients. For the last four years I have been shooting 100% digitally with my Sinarback 23, on a Sinar P2 and Sinarcam 2. Which brings me to my conundrum.....
Having run my camera on a 400 MHz G4 since day one, I decided to upgrade to a 1.25 GHz Dual Boot G4. However after two days of trying, I cannot get the Mac to see the Camera, which from bitter experience I know is almost certainly the Keyspan Serial Port/USB adapter that connects to the Sinarcams power supply. I am running the latest version of Captureshop and have downloaded the latest drivers from the Keyspan site for both OS X and OS9 but neither will work. I have done a complete OS reinstall before installation of each version of the Keyspan drivers to avoid any potential conflicts when I boot into each OS and I have also tried different configurations of USB sockets etc., but no joy. On the very rare occasions the camera has started up the Mac has crashed almost immediately. Eventually, with a job looming, I gave up and put my old Mac back in, which works perfectly! The phrase 'if it aint broke don't fix it' springs to mind! Anyway I was hoping that perhaps there is someone out there using a Sinarback with a newer G4 who has encountered and solved this issue or failing that, anyone who's got a USB power supply for sale?
