Obsolete Camera Models

A number of obsolete camera models can be operated by MaxIm DL; however, the drivers are no longer included as part of the standard installation. The installer for these drivers can be downloaded from http://www.cyanogen.com/down/MaxImDLObsoleteDrivers.exe

These drivers are not actively maintained, and only limited technical support is available for them.

Notes

Parallel Port and ISA Bus Equipment

All parallel port and ISA bus hardware is no longer supported.

SBIG

All SBIG models that use Ethernet or USB interfaces are supported using the SBIG Universal driver, regardless of whether they are currently manufactured.

There are a number of obsolete SBIG camera models that used serial interfaces for communications. The following models are supported: SBIG ST-4 (excluding ST-4X), ST-5, ST-6, and STV.  It may be possible to operate Celestron PixCel 255 and 237 cameras via the ST-5 driver.

Starlight Xpress

Please note that all Starlight Xpress USB 1.1 cameras can be operated using the standard SX Universal driver instead, if the newer Universal firmware is first loaded into the camera using the Hex Manager. We strongly recommend using the SX Universal driver instead of the legacy drivers.
