> I just purchased your version 1.2 in order to be able to use a Logitech
> Quickcam PRO 9000 with my weather station software and OSX Leopard 10.5.6.
> 
> Even though I had read all over the net that this camera worked fine with OSX,
> I was having a lot of problems, and the author of my weather station software
> recommended that I try your driver before throwing in the towel and ordering
> the Mac OSX compatible Logitech Vision Pro for Mac.
> 
> I was pleased to see that once I installed your driver, the camera worked and
> looked GREAT within the application, and all the color distortion and issues
> with the built in iSIGHT camera being chosen instead were solved.  Since I
> couldn¹t test everything properly in 30 minutes, I was forced to purchase your
> driver to be sure.  Everything seems to work, but I am having some concerns
> about stability and performance...
> 
> Now that the dust of earlier today has settled, I am noticing that your beta
> driver feels a little buggy and SLOW.  Clicking on the camera settings brings
> forth a spinning beach ball that I do not often see on this Core 2 Duo Intel
> iMAC.  The camera settings for your driver finally do appear on the screen,
> but they are VERY slow to update when clicked on.
> 
> Another real issue for me as a 24/7 360 weather station operator is this...
> 
> My weather station application is unable to find my 9000 camera after a
> re-start.  I have to quit the program and re-launch it a second time before
> the camera is seen and the application loads as normal.  This is a problem for
> an often unattended machine and application that needs to be on all the time.
> If the power goes out for too long and the UPC dies, this machine will
> re-start and LWC needs to be able to launch itself and FIND THE CAMERA!
> 
> I have a call into the developer of that application (Lightsoft Weather Center
> (LWC)), and will try to determine if this is an LWC issue or your driver¹s
> fault.
> 
> Although I am somewhat satisfied with the current performance I am getting,
> Logitech does make a OSX specific version of the 9000 camera that is 100%
> Leopard compatible.  The difference between the 9000 and this other model,
> when you include the 20 bucks I had to spend for your driver is only $10.00.
> The original $30.00 savings for what appeared to be the same hardware was the
> reason I went with the 9000 over the more expensive Vision Pro Mac.
> 
> I would like to know if your driver is going to be supported going forward in
> 2009.  I am fully expecting a snappier and more reliable version for my 20
> bucks.
> 
> Thanks in advance for any ³current² information.  Your web site and Wikki had
> both not been updated in months.  ;o)
> 
> Cheers.
