| Subject: | Maplin Snake Scope |
The snake scope advertised by Maplin was mentioned on this forum
recently. I bought one but when I came to load the software I was
greeted by a warning that the software had not been passed as being
compatible with Windows XP and that it was strongly recommended that I
terminated the installation. I spoke to Maplin and they said that I
should go ahead (as they would do) but I was not prepared to take the
risk, and so I have returned the scope. It is a pity because it would be
a great improvement on the mirror and torch technique normally employed
for inspection of inaccessible parts of aircraft.
If enough people buy them and then return them perhaps Maplin will get
around to having the software approved.

Roger,
You will find that there are many programmes/software packages available th
at give the same message.- I think that all the message means is that the
software has not been given the official windows seal of approval...
I bought the camera you are talking about and installed the software, it wo
rks perfectly with no untoward effects on either of my computers.
You are correct though, it is a great improvement on the torch and mirror.
regards,
Mike (G-JULZ... ready to go, awaiting paperwork.)

It is a standard warning for any software that is not formally approved by
Microsoft.
I am not sure what's special about this bore scope. If you google "fiber
optic inspection scopes" you will find plenty, and most of the ones I've
used don't need a computer. It is a snake with a lens on one end.
