So during my post CF install software installations and testing, I’ve started to encounter a serious issue and I’m not sure if it’s software related, hardware conflict related or what’s going on so I figured I would ask here.
Does anyone here have and use a QuickTake 100/150 with a PowerBook Kanga successfully? That would be a quick one to rule out hopefully, someone with experience with my same setup.
I haven’t used my quicktakes or printer with the Kanga yet, didn’t want to set up the software twice as it’s quite time consuming. So with that I can’t confirm it’s not something CF related but wouldn’t think it would be that anyways though I’m not willing to rule anything out since tech behaves strangely sometimes.
I installed the StyleWriter 2200 drivers and when trying to print, it says modem is using the port. The modem isn’t in use and I tried changing the settings of the modem to internal / IR. It would finally allow me to try to print but then just time out with an error saying can’t communicate with printer.
I move on to try with the QuickTake. Sometimes it’ll connect initially and other times it won’t even connect but as soon as I try to copy the files it’ll either freeze immediately or after a few pictures are copied. The mouse pointer won’t even move, it completely locks the computer.
I’m using 8.6 and have zero issues with any of the hardware on my 1400c. It also uses a CF card and 8.6 - someone also said they had the same problem on their G3 when connecting the QuickTake from 2008 but no one responded to her thread so no idea what the end solution was. She was also running 9.2 which I’m not.
Just throwing this out there to see if anyone might have any ideas. It seems like a conflict. In the PC world an IRQ conflict as it seems to act the same way. Sometimes work or work intermittently but freeze the system or crash it.
Is there any way to actually disable the modem from a hardware point entirely or pinpoint why it can connect briefly but quickly brings my Kanga G3 to an immediate halt?
