    Modding the Kodak Reels 8mm Film Digitizer (Firmware Hack)

    I can confirm that with this file I have V2.0 firmware back on my Reels unit, verified on the about screen. Will try a capture later. Thanks very much to all who contributed.

    Modding the Kodak Reels 8mm Film Digitizer (Firmware Hack)

    This is great. Documenting the easiest way to dump the firmware will be helpful (someone can hopefully do this for V2.0 soon), and if it can be done with just a USB-TTL serial adapter that's great. I'm sure there are more clues to ID the sensor in the drivers (some clues like reference to the...

    Modding the Kodak Reels 8mm Film Digitizer (Firmware Hack)

    Yes that is correct, purchased last month (and I took a photo of the about page with the version number before I updated). Just tried to digitize a film, it failed but I think it did not record file #'s 11 (manual abort) and 12 to the drive, i.e. looks like max 10 files recorded to the card...

    Modding the Kodak Reels 8mm Film Digitizer (Firmware Hack)

    Thanks for this work. I can however confirm that Kodak is now shipping a V2.0 firmware, and since I used your mod I am now on V1.0 mod firmware. I'm not really sure what Kodak improved with V2.0. I can confirm the bitrate of my captures with V2.0 firmware was approx 8920 kb/s (1728x1296)...
