    Hacking the Kodak Reels 8mm Film Digitizer (New Thread)

    If anyone gets a new unit with potentially new firmware within the US, and you don't mind shipping it, I’d be more than happy to solder serial cables to it and dump the firmware and send it back. I'm also trying to figure out if there's a way to trigger the command line interface from the SD...

    Hacking the Kodak Reels 8mm Film Digitizer (New Thread)

    Thanks for the great post! Damn, I was afraid of a new revision popping up... I just opened my K3124148BK00221 unit and dumped the firmware. It seems to be nearly identical (except for a minor change) as @MHreels posted (SN: H2324148BK...). The only difference is on the very first address...

    Hacking the Kodak Reels 8mm Film Digitizer (New Thread)

    Oh interesting! Let us know @JKCalhoun if this works for you, if so, this may be a new model "D" variant. Also, I finally opened the replacement unit I got in January, the serial number is: K3124148bk00221 I can dump this to see if it's a "newer" version too.

    Thanks! I’ll try a new 3D printed mount - thankfully the issue went away after zooming in and out a few times.

    Hacking the Kodak Reels 8mm Film Digitizer (New Thread)

    Hello @0dan0, FYI I encountered this interesting glitch after I was zooming in and out of the frame, and it is persistent after power cycling. Notice how the top section has a hard line. It's like it's repeating a section or cutting out a section. I haven't updated the FW in a while, so maybe...

    Hacking the Kodak Reels 8mm Film Digitizer (New Thread)

    Thanks for posting that! Perhaps my call to action in my video persuaded some lurkers to inspect the code... 😅 You should totally record a screen recording of you explaining your work or something similar and post it. Even though I'm not a programmer I'd watch that! It also reminds me, I...

    Hacking the Kodak Reels 8mm Film Digitizer (New Thread)

    Hi, thanks for the kind words. Hm, the revision C firmware. There is a small chance some of the firmware files are mixed up on my end due to them all having the same file name. Please report back after trying various versions of A or C.

    Modding the Kodak Reels 8mm Film Digitizer (Firmware Hack)

    There is a small chance my A / B / C firmware files got disorganized at some point. I think specifically for the "unmodified" versions. I will have to try and reorganize things when I find the time. @Grandson can you please tell us the serial # on the bottom of your device? Or feel free to PM...

    Word 5 - Looking for Specific Example Document

    I just installed a copy of Microsoft Word 5.1a via InfiniteMac / Macintosh Garden... sadly the sample documents provided didn't have anything as entertaining as you mentioned. :( However, maybe it was in the printed manual? The Garden has some PDFs of manuals (see the blue section below the...
