Apple QuickTake 150 (for Windows) - Manual (Page 62)

To change speed:
1 On your computer, double-click the QuickTake Serial Ports icon to run the application.
2 In the dialog box that appears, change the baud rate to 9600.
3 With the camera connected to your computer and turned on, click Test.
If your computer communicates successfully with the camera at 9600 baud, a
message tells you so. If your computer cannot communicate with the camera
at 9600 baud, there is one way to fix the problem: Install a low-cost, high-
speed serial card equipped with a buffered 16550 UART. (High-speed serial
cards with this feature clearly advertise it on the box.)
4 Repeat steps 2 and 3, gradually raising the baud rate and testing the result.
For example, change the baud rate from 9600 to 19,200.
5 If a test causes the computer to reboot, run the QuickTake Serial Ports application again
and change the baud rate back to the next lower number.
For example, if the computer reboots when the baud rate is 38,400, change it
back to 19,200.
At slower baud rates it takes longer to transfer images from the camera to
your computer. If this is a problem, see the next item.
It takes too long to transfer images from the camera to your computer
If you think it takes too long to transfer images from your camera to your
computer, you can upgrade your hardware to avoid the problem. Install a low-
cost, high-speed serial card equipped with a buffered 16550 UART. (Most
high-speed serial cards come with this feature clearly advertised on the box.)
