Vesta pro, Modified

I bought one a year or two ago, had some problems and let it collect
dust, and now just reinstalled everything and it works "in webcam mode". I
know there's a web page out there somewhere on these modified camera's,
could someone point me to one? I need a wiring diagram and I might need to
ask some questions depending on the visited web sites.

Hi Michael,
Here is a site that I found particularly useful when I did my mod.
In addition to useful text and diagrams, it has photos as well which
helped me a great deal.

Good luck, Cliff

As mentioned, I bought it a year or two ago. I could get it to work as
a web cam but when attempting to hook it up for long exposures all I got was
a green screen. I'd turn the laptop on (WinMe), plug in the USB cable and
plug the 25 pin cable in and start the software. (see my problem?). It's
been so long since I used anything that wasn't plug-n-play that I couldn't
see why this didn't work. After I posted the message it dawned on me, so I
went and hooked everything up and then turned the laptop on. It Works :-)

Now I need some clear skies to see if I can sell my LPI.
