Just a few things to list this time around:
1) I received the long-awaited documentation from Agfa about their cameras.
I haven't had time to compare it to all that I already had obtained on
various web sites dedicated to the "Project O" cameras, but it may help me
solve some problems like how to re-request packets that have checksum
errors. Stay tuned to the DCITU web site for more information.
2) I purchased a used Casio QV10a camera that I'll be using to help me add
support for the 'QV' camera type. Are there any 'QV' beta testers out
there? Please get in touch with me through the DCITU forum at:
news://obscurasite.com/photo.dcitu-support
3) I have an idea that may interest people who have cameras that are not yet
supported. I have various documents describing some camera protocols, but
in many cases, these documents are not enough for me to add support. For
instance, Kodak's DC20, DC25, DC40, and possibly DC50, as well as newer
versions of the Casio QV cameras. If anyone in North America is willing to
part with their camera for 2 to 4 weeks while I add support, you will get a
free version of DCITU and I'll pay for shipping both to and from. Let me
know if you are interested.
4) Lastly, if you have a digital camera that is not listed as "supported" or
isn't listed in this posting, please contact the manufacture of the camera
(most of them have a web site and e-mail) and ask them for documentation on
the serial protocol. Without the serial protocol documentation, I
***CANNOT*** add support for your digital camera into DCITU!
