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

Thanks a lot. I really appreciate the work you have been putting into this. I had a hunch that the answer i was looking for was already in the thread. I just tested it out and am pleased with the results. I'll be sure to read through the thread, so as not to post any duplicate questions.

Unfortunately I still have a bricked type D, so nothing to work with at the moment. More importantly I will not likely have any free time for this project until late May. I hope I can then recover the D unit I have, and start again. However, a lot of the development will need to be from scratch as so much changed. User wanting the features of this firmware should look for secondhand units will the older serial numbers, as there a good chance Type D unit will never be supported.

In the time between now and then, would you be open to a crowd-funded effort to provide you a new D unit? I think the community here would be able to make that happen in support your work?

I damaged the terminals of the 10 pin cable, joining the control board to the processor. I tried to reconfigure the contacts but did`n t suceed. Now I have ordered new cables. Can somebody tell me wether the straight connection (contacts on the same side, Type A) or the inverse one (Type B) is required? I missed to take a picture of the original.
For the 40 pin cable it is clear, that it is type A. Thank you for your help!
The modifyed Kodak Reels is a superb system and I wouldn`t go back to the previous scanner.
