Hello all,
Back into LF and purchased LF equipment, also came with everything Expolux except the card. Everything works except the monitor shows "CARD ?". Is there anyone out there that can help me with the card issue?
 
The only Sinar user on here that I know of is @abbandon, maybe he can shed some light on this.
 
Honest I'm not the only Sinar user here ....

However I do have some Expolux gear I doubt any of the others have.

The earlier versions of the shutter with the monitor require a pcmcia memory card with the software on usually you will see Expolux systems being sold as "probably working but untested" or in other words the card doesn't work and or the seller hasn't got a clue what to do with it. Unfortunately the pcmcia cards used are early low capacity memory cards that are battery backed up and if the battery is not changed when required the software is going to evaporate into the ether so sadly no I do not having a working card however it is available

Some when when I'm feeling rich I will invest in one however I will be asking searching questions like are they guaranteeing the card is usable and possible to back up in some way or another.
 
Thanks, As this is the first reliable piece of info I have got. Expensive huh but would certainly help. Do you know? If I get the card do I still need the Palm?
 
There were I believe several versions of the Expolux over time the original uses the monitor as the controller with the software run from the card the later version that is controlled from a Palm will not need the card.

Originally there were two versions of the card available a simplified and standard version.

Some where I have a photocopy of the manual.

unfortunately it happened to me also that I lost information of the card. could you help me with this by sending the card software? I cant use the shutter now. Sinar is willing to reinstall the programme for almost 400USD... thanks in advance
 
Link mentioned in post 3 no longer available. Bit sad when a company lets its users down like this.

Hi abbandon, although an old thread, is there a chance that you can help me with a manual for the Expolux system ?
Kind regards, Jack
