I am working with user Dare to dump their version 2.0 firmware, but we ran into a hardware issue. As soon as we figure it out hopefully we can help you restore your firmware to the version that shipped on your device.

The rainbow cables on the left control the motors, if you mix them up you'll know it - as on the initial startup it will start the motors and not stop (instead of a brief motor start then stop). That's what happened to me, you can easily flip them around. What serial device are you using? I'm...

You can leave 3.3v empty. You only need Ground, TX and RX. I hope you got the device apart, I filmed a bit of a how-to to carefully take it open as the ribbon cables can be annoying. I used long cables and routed the 3 for the serial connection out back through the vents. I'll edit this post...

Hey Dare, that would be excellent! The biggest challenge will be removing the board and soldering 3 small cables to the serial contacts. This assumes your model has the same hardware. I'll make a tutorial for you and will post it here when I'm done.

Thanks! I'm so glad this may help you get better quality out of your scans. I also found that my camera was slightly out of focus, but it's glued to the focus ring / lens and a bit of a pain to undo (I used a hot air gun on a low setting from a few inches away). I haven't done extensive...

Another update: I've successfully connected an Arduino Nano (acting as a UART TTY serial to USB adapter) to the Kodak digitizer, which had nicely labeled and exposed serial connections. Setting the baud rate to 115200 allows me to connect and access, with plenty of things to look at! 🎉 It let...

I’ll see if I can contact Kodak asking if they’d provide me with a 2.0 update. For the time being, anyone with a 2.0 software update may want to hold off. I’m unsure what hardware / software differences those devices may have.

That's very odd, I'm using this one on my model now. Do any of the others work? I admit maybe I uploaded some of the wrong ones, the process is convoluted at best and the files all end up the same names. Was your model originally running v1.0 or 2.0? Sorry for the mix up, I'll double check...

Which modified version did you try? I can confirm with my device, there is a chance I mislabeled one. Thankfully reverting to the previous firmware is possible. I had dozens of different versions so my apologies if I got any mixed up.

Thanks! I’ll see if I can get my hands on one of them. Did the menu appear any differently otherwise? If you have any photos feel free to attach them.

Ah wow. I’m curious, is yours labeled as “Reels” or “Reelz” and can you share where you purchased it from and your country? Thanks!

Oh wow, so I guess your model had a 2.0 firmware? I heard there may be new units floating around, but I haven't confirmed this. I can't determine if there is a built-in feature to dump the firmware via software. I suppose at least it could be done via the EPROM programmer like I did. I have...

I've made a video showing some of the differences when using the modified firmware with the enhanced video bitrate and various sharpness settings. It can sometimes be hard to see the differences, but in the right scene it can really help. Especially since you'll likely be zooming in or cropping...

I don't have the device myself, but someone emailed me these firmware files for the Wolverine M1100 / MM100 Pro and a Reflecta. It appears that it ups the resolution to 1440 x 1080 at a bitrate of 7200. I've attached them below. Of course, I haven't tried these, they may blow yours up etc, good...

In this thread I'll be discussing my adventures in modifying the Kodak Reels 8mm film digitizer firmware. First I'll explain how I started, my goals, the the results, some tidbits I learned, and how-to do this yourself. This will be a lengthy post, but my process may be helpful to others and I...

Hello all, As someone who repairs a lot of systems, the CUDA / EGRET microcontroller chip is one of those pieces that is getting harder and harder to replace. It would be amazing if these chips could be replaced by a modern solution so we can save more 68k / PowerPC Macs! I was doing some...

I've contributed to the WiFi DaynaPORT wiki in an attempt to make the set up process a bit smoother for you eager beta testers. It now covers some basic steps for both MacTCP and Open Transport methods. It's very exciting to see everyone testing this out... that WiFi desk accessory is soooo...

Great new beta feature! 🎉 I've tested this on my Mac LC III (7.5) and Centris 650 (7.6). I can even install Open Transport 1.3 and the AppleShare client update to connect to my Mac Mini G4 over the network! Granted, at this stage this is really only usable for web browsing, BBS, email, etc...

Yes! The issue was four of the RAM modules were not playing happy with the system. I also had to figure out how the device worked. When it gets power, the "Ready" light blinks once or twice. If that light turns off and the "Access" light blinks 4 times, then there is an issue with the modules...

Hello, I'm looking for a driver or software package that shipped with the Newer Technology SCSI Dart, a RAM disk drive. Any leads would be great! I've checked the usual places, but nothing so far. It is also possible it could carry an odd name. Thanks, -Steven
