I've posted "WTB"s on this, but am getting a bit desperate and hoping that a post in the Nikon forum might turn up someone with an old copy kicking around.
I'm looking for a copy of the Nikon PhotoSecretary software, and specifically the Mac edition. I'm looking for both the AC-1ME version for the F5 and the AC-2ME version for the F100.
I have the cable, which I THOUGH would be the difficult part, but now the software is the elusive part. If anyone has a copy they would want to donate, copy, or sell, or otherwise has a lead on a copy for sale, I'd appreciate it.
Yes, I have the Meta35 system, but I want to try the "real" Nikon software.
For those who don't know, this program(with the correct cable) allows you to extract exposure data from certain late high-end cameras. The F5 and F100 are specifically mentioned, although I'm guessing AC-1ME will also work with the N90 since is also has the capability.
As I said, I have the MC-34 cable, which has the 10-pin Nikon connector on one end, a "black box"(literally) in the middle, and a Macintosh mini-Din-9 serial port on the other end.
The computers aren't a problem-I have plenty of Macs with serial ports and running OS 9 or earlier. I just need the software to get it all together.
BTW, before anyone says "Digital"-this software package is strictly used to interface with later high end Nikon film cameras, and is used to retrieve exposure data for film exposed in those cameras. It's just a way of streamlining the process of writing it all down on a notebook paper. With Meta35(although I do use it to "tag" scans), I print out a page of exposure data by frame number and stick it in the binder where I have the processed film in printfile pages. It's just a shortcut to get what many people do by hand.
