DXM-1200 C Camera Compatibility

A few years back Nikon released a very cool 12 megapixel stepping camera, called the DXM-1200C. The camera was reliable and a nice product for many years. Unfortunately the march of progress made a dent in this camera. The system, like many others, relied upon a proprietary PCI card for transfer of image data to the PC. This reliance required that the PCI card was happy living inside whatever computer the customer had.

As time continued the card moved from the "most current" to not functioning with newer chipsets. As problems begain to appear with the chipsets more and more people found that they would buy a nice new computer for their imaging system, only to discover the camera would not work with it! In an effort to reduce lost time Nikon produced a document describing which chipsets are known to work and which were known not to work. Hopefully this doc will help a few of my customers avoid this issue! You can find the doc here.
