TO stock
1. thnx to 2old (and others) the whole procedure of upgrading/converting/re-flashing the CAM is explained in many threads in this forum
2. very detailed step by step explanation is also at
http://www.omanforum.com/index.cfm/fuseaction/thread/CFB/2/TID/67395.cfm
3. I followed these steps in readme to install:
1) Unzip all files the a directory of you choice (e.g. C:\FREECAM)
2) If you run Win95 (non OSR2), delete Irdeto98.inf
3) If you run Win98 or Win95 OSR2, delete Irdeto95.inf
4) If you run NT or Win2000, it won't work. Didn't get it to run on Windows ME either
5) Insert CI in PCMCIA slot of your laptop. When it asks you for a driver directory point to C:\FREECAM
6) Copy ird106.ini to your Windows directory (e.g. C:\WINDOWS)
7) Edit ird106.ini (the one in your Windows directory) and change the binary= entry
to the file you want to install (FXXXXX.BIN).
8) Click on ird106.exe in C:\FREECAM. Press the start button. When the display turns green, you're all set.
9) Unlike other readmes it is not neccessary to copy the CIPHYSICAL.DLL anywhere.
4. I followed steps at 3. on six different notebooks and finished with RED NOK. Seventh was Olivetti with exactly the same win95 (language,ver.) as on one before and I took exactly the steps at 3. and I got GREEN OK. After then I tried 3 more notebooks - RED NOK.(10% success alltogether).
5. I beleive that you will succed too if you try those steps on some other notebooks.
TO ALL
So, freecam install procedure is OK and drivers are OK (if I understand .inf file ird106 uses generic Windows drivers to access CAM module). I was changing IRQs too, rebooting machines, there were no conflicts in device managers of those machines - but alltogether it does work (you get GREEN OK) only on some (10%) machines.
The problem is, that I need to reflash my CAM every time I want to use new PK. But old Olivetti I succeded on is not avaliable anymore to me.
So, any fresh ideas about what I (we) can do to make better ratio of success? Maybe you 2old have heard about a new version of ird106.exe/package (I used ird106 dated 10.03.2000)
THNX, zoran
PS.: stock, I got your inf files and they are exactly the same to mine - anyway I used them and repeat installation on my two notebooks (first with win95 second win98) - RED NOK again.
