QuickTake Software

It's been a long time since I used this stuff but I believe I was using some version of 9 at the time.

It was the iSight camera that is X-only.

I have QuickTake 150 Camera that I am trying to connect using Basilisk II (OS 7.5.3). I have USB to DB9 connector. I am trouble installing this software. IMG disks cannot be read in OS...

I imagine that connecting a QTake cam to a USB/DB9 connector and accessing this via Basilisk II will be impossible. AFAIK Basilisk II does not talk directly to USB devices (and OS 7. anything, certainly won't know about USB).

Installing the QuickTake software to Basilisk II tho' is not difficult to do and it runs really well on BII.

[Edit]: I've since had time to inspect the DL from here. It extracts to a folder named "Cameras" which in turn contains the (Macintosh & Windows) disk image installer sets for QuickTake 100, 150 & 200 series cameras. You will only require the installer set from the QuickTake 150 - Macintosh install set.

The ".scr" files you mentioned are DiskCopy 6.x scripts and will only work on a Classic Mac OS and require Disk Copy 6.1.2 or newer to be installed. You do not need these ".scr" files unless you have a Macintosh with a floppy disk drive and wish to make hard copy floppy disks of the install set.

You need to move the file "quicktakesoftware.sit" into an emulated hard drive of Basilisk II - Do not attempt to extract this in a shared or "Unix" drive on the emulator, the shared or "Unix" drive is used for moving files between the host and emulator only. Its also possible to extract the disk images on your host OS and mount them directly onto a running Basilisk II desktop.

That is, either Extract the files by:

(1) Moving the "quicktakesoftware.sit" file into a mounted emulated hard drive and only then extract the .sit (using a pre-installed Stuffit Expander version 5.5 on BII). Inside the extracted Cameras folder, open the "QuickTake 150 - Macintosh" folder and select all four "QuickTake Disk 1.img to QuickTake Disk 4.img" files and drag them onto Disk Copy 6.3 (which also may need to be pre-installed on OS 7.5.3) to mount all four images onto your emulated desktop - then run the installer from inside the mounted Disk 1. Doing a (custom) install for "QuickTake 150" is a good tip at this point.

Or:

(2) Extract the "quicktakesoftware.sit" file on your host computer and run Basilisk II, windowed. Inside the extracted Cameras folder, open the QuickTake 150 - Macintosh folder and select all four "QuickTake Disk 1.img - QuickTake Disk 4.img" files and drag them from the host OS into the active Basilisk II window, all 4 img files will mount as disk drives in Basilisk II. Run the installer from the mounted img disk 1. Do a (custom) install for "QuickTake 150" and install this software to some location on your main emulated hard drive.

Do a (custom) install for "QuickTake 150" and install a rather interesting bitmap editor called "PhotoFlash". - Highly scriptable. Great for batch editing. I still use it (and it doesn't require a QuickTake Camera present, to use).

This one has already available in Legacy Recovery CD, Apple Applications Recovery & Companion Tech Info Library.
