tm cam slots

[drahcirk]

does anyone else find the cam slots a real pain, sometimes really lose it trying to get the cam go in on my 6900 su+ but really easy on my samsung, much better quality box,.

Got a tm super6900 and cant recollect any problem with either Dragon or Diablo cam, son in law has issues with tm 9100 linux box tho

when using cam in slot, go into system information and from the remote 2 0 0 4 could be a conflict with other cam?

I think the OP means that the slot on the front of the TM's is like one big hole and it doesn't actually 'guide' the cam into the socket, you get used to it after a short while but at first it can be fiddly.

My missunderstanding. Think it is a trick how you insert these? 6900HD super support the underside of the cam with the fingers when moving to the camslot, you should feel the guides of the slot when inserting the cam:

slightly tilt the cam upwards when inserting

Make sure you insert the cam without force as you could bend the CI pins!

I remember when I got my first TM (5500CIP) I posted asking about the cam slot (I did'nt realise there were two slots, it just looked like one big one that did'nt fit my dragon.)
The advice I got was that if I could'nt find the right hole I should be carefull with the wife that night.

What benefits we get from 2 0 0 4 visavis conflicts?

For example I have noticed the following on my TM6800 HD:

Slot 1: Cryptoworks cam inserted
Slot 2: Empty
Result: Cryptoworks cam works

Slot 1: Empty
Slot 2: Cryptoworks cam inserted
Result: Cryptoworks cam works

BUT:

Slot 1: Cryptoworks cam inserted
Slot 2: T-Rex cam inserted
Result: Cryptoworks not recognised and T-Rex works

Slot 1: T-Rex cam inserted
Slot 2: Cryptoworks cam inserted
Result: T-Rex works but Cryptoworks not recognised

this would avoid conflicts with the internal patched software (EMU). Most likely the same kind of conflict exists between t-rex and Cryptoworks cams

have had same problem. Very fiddly and sometimes gets stuck in wrong position. Other than that the cam works very well with TM. Much better than my Triple Dragon

My old 5500CI was fine but the 6800HD I've also found awkward. It's easier just to patch.
