Where can I get a free usb cuecat?

The IBM deal is over, and last I heard Radio shack was destroying all of theirs.

These things sound great, but you only play with it for a couple days then it sits gathering dust until you finally disconnect it and toss it into storage with your other ancient peripherals. I haven't had mine hooked up for ages and I've never had a need to use it. Easier just to get on a company's web site and find the info.

I am using it as an actual scanner.

Just curious, what makes you say the IBM deal is over?

This link is now down. I used it a couple weeks ago anyway, and received a letter from them telling me that they no longer had them in stock because of "high demand".

thanks guys for the awesome feedback!

Send in for one with IBM, and got a letter back saying that they were out of cuecats, and to go to radio shack if I still wanted one. Of course Radio shack doesnt have them cause they destroyed them all as a tax writeoff.

Its cool though, passwird is supposed to be mailing me one. Still would like to get a 2nd.

well the pic dont come up, but I can click it and still get to the order form....

qmanchu · 02-28-2002, 04:26 PM

wga22, thanks for the heads-up. No need to waste my time filling out that form.

Sorry DoPeY5007, I couldn't find the link either. In my browser, since the image doesn't come up, the link never appears either (stupid, I know). After using IE, I came up with this direct link. Hope this helps.

I am fairly certain this is the form I did about a month ago that was dead. Didnt hurt, so I tried it again.

You know guys... if you're not using them there's a super brite red LED in there that you can use for mods.

isn't it a laser?

wga22 · 03-03-2002, 10:10 PM

I think its just a led. I have opened them before. led's are like 2 cents at radio shack, if you are into that kind of thing

umm actually they're a 5mm super-brite LED, go around $3-4 each at RS or FRY's.

How are you using it as a scanner, wga22? Scanning what?

Thats what started this whole thing. I showed my friend how he could use it for his dvd collection, and then he talked me out of it!! Good news is that IBM sent a cuecat to my biz address.

marchk · 03-08-2002, 01:10 PM

... but how do I use it in that fashion? I've got a collection of DVD's and nothing to do this weekend.

Look here... http://www.gotapex.com/forums/showth...threadid=38085 (FREE CueCat reader and CueTv cable)

Using Cueverter and DVDProfiler.

I did my whole collection (~100 DVD's) in about 15 minutes. Works great.
