M-2 Scalar Users

[clay_baker at bodelin.com]

Hello all,

After removing the Scalar USB Microscope component from the  
Components folder, I installed the latest beta driver (1.1.2a30) with  
virtually no success.  The M-2 is only recognized by the IOXperts  
camera identifier during installation.  However, after a restart the  
camera identifier can not find a camera.  After several uninstalls  
and reinstalls, I was finally able to get the camera identifier to  
see the M-2 once.  With that one success, both USB Shot and ProScope  
HR software were able to see the M-2 connected and display an image.   
However, both applications became unstable and crashed.  I was never  
able to get the camera identifier to see the M-2 again in several  
driver uninstalls/reinstalls.

Machine: Intel iMac 1.83 Core Duo
Mac OS X: 10.4.9 + all the latest updates

I haven't tested the IOXperts beta drivers since 10.4.8 where I had  
better success with the beta release 1.1.2a26.  Out of curiosity, I  
uninstalled 1.1.2a30 and then installed 1.1.2a26.  However, it  
behaved the same as 1.1.2a30 with Mac OS X 10.4.9.  I do know that  
there were major OS and USB driver related changes made by Apple  
starting with 10.4.8.  As I recall, the Scalar driver component and  
USB Shot worked fine together with Mac OS 10.4.7 and earlier.

Best regards,
Clay Baker
