SAC 7 Drivers

I bought a used SAC7 (air-cooled), and it came complete with software CD.

Directions say (among other things) to install the driver called "webupdate.exe" I cannot find it anywhere, including on the disk I was given when I bought the thing. There is a folder called SAC 7b PC Drivers. But none for SAC 7 drivers.

Is there something I am missing? Do I have a CD for the SAC 7b (electronically cooled) and not the SAC7 (air cooled)? Is webupdate.exe someplace else (like on all Windows machines)? Just what is the story?

I have checked the website. The "Download drivers" link does not seem to have software for a SAC7 with a white cord. I have called Florida, and e-mailed them. But apparently they are out taking astrophotos and haven't had time to call or e-mail back.

Anybody have this driver they could send to me, or know a link to where I can find it?

I have loaded Microsoft WDM Image, but Astrovideo won't recognize the camera with that.

Any help appreciated.

My advice is to scrap the software provided by SAC with the exception of the Logitec Driver ( WDM ) Driver. The software is truley Bad with little attention given to quality or useability not to mention instructions. Check out K3 tools - accessable fron the QCUIAG Web Sight. Its a great tool for the SAC and will do everything you need.
