Hello folks,
I've acquired a MicronEye Bullet camera for Apple II or Mac and I can find the software for the Apple II but I'm looking for the Mac software.
Theres a post on eBay with a photo of the floppy (400k) so I know it's out there.
But I've used up all my Google knowledge and searched all the usual FTP sites.
Any help would be great.
Thanks.

So I just read the sticky post about software requests and I guess this post is out of bounds.
I'll leave it up until someone tells me to take it down, but (and here comes the excuse), I'm pretty sure that this software is no longer commercially available and is so incredibly rare that it almost seems like an academic pursuit rather than an attempt at piracy. But that's just my feeble rational.
Don't want to step on any toes...

That's a cool setup, especially for 1984 and from the compatibility list it looks like it might have been available quite a while before that.
I had something similar in the "Video to Vinyl" MacSignMaker bundle, but It looked to be a generic digitizer (came in a small box, no camera) for use with whatever video source might be at hand. It worked well enough for its fairly low resolution image capture capability. I'd bought ThuderScan, while waiting for the system to arrive.
Scanners were in the multiple thousands of dollars range in 1987 for flatbeds and astronomical for drum scanners, so MiconEye with the flexibility of that bullet camera must have been a treat. Love that low tech extension ring for the C-Mount lens.
