I used to own a QT150 camera, but the software for both of them is
the same. It uses some Apple proprietary image format which make
pictures visible only when the appropriate drivers are installed.
They look like standard PICT format, but if you try to open one
without having the QuickTake software installed, it will not show up,
you'll see some message instead, telling you to install the correct
software first (which is not free).
I seriously doubt that anybody has gone through the trouble of
re-engineering this piece for the Newton. Neither have I heard of any
driver to download camera pictures onto the Newton ... sorry.
The camera shipped with either windows or Mac software. You might
have the Mac version but you can get the Windows Software from Apple
for about $20 or so (for shipping & handling).
Best regards,
Chris
