Media Cat Chain Letter

[tbone75]

Stihl musta caught onto us ! LOL

Back dating works for the v5.6.0 platform. No hoops to jump through and there seems to be complete functionality...at least for our purposes. I'm sure there would be issues if you were tied into a regional distributor, kept inventory, pricing, etc., but for just looking up IPL's and manuals, no problem.

I'm a little nervous about the torrent deal, but I'll be happy to hold up my end if someone would send me a copy of the one without the expiration date.

 

[LowVolt]

So who is going to help out this fine feller?

 

[LowVolt]

There are a handful of guys on the previous page requesting a copy. Did you guys get them or what?????

 

[gregsl]

I will take a copy as well. I'll make 3 copies and send them out to the next 3 people that request one.

 

[Rockjock]

Gents count me in, I can resend the updated copy to the blokes I have sent the older version to. Spreading the mediacat 7-8 copies at a time!

 

[racerjohnbf]

Seems like the chain has been broken.

Rory if you a willing to send out a copy to me, I'll send you money for postage and the cost of a disc. And I'll get a copy to the two guys above and the next two that post asking for a copy.

 

[LowVolt]

Seriously? Hey don't request a copy if you aren't going to fulfill you end of the bargain. That is BS.

One small note.... if you set your clock back, use the Mediacat, then set the clock forward, Mediacat will not run even if you set the clock back again... Same thing once the CD expires again. You'll need to dedicate an old PC to this, and make sure it doesn't set its clock to "internet time". One way around this is to use one of many programs to reset the registery each time... PITA though.

There another "stihl Service" cd circulalting that doesn't have these issues, and is current up to about 2003.

I couldn't get it to work on my old computer so I kept the disc until I got the new computer, now I can't figure out how to set up the Media Cat thing, didn't see anything resembling a Stihl parts list or shop manual.

Ok guys I got my copy thanks to a very generous AS member. Now it's my turn, PM me your addresses and I'll get copies out to you guys. And I've got the next 2 who ask.

a. palmer jr. would you like a copy? The one I have doesn't require you to re set your clock.

I have a Mac and the disc never really 'worked' on that. Here's what I can find, if that is helpful.

Open 'STIHL' folder.
Open 'SCS 01-2010' folder.
Open 'Resources' folder.
Scroll down 2/3 of the way to find PDF files marked 'RA-xxxxx' (service manuals) and 'TI-xxxx' (technical information).
Open these with Adobe Acrobat, or something similar.

Anything will work...,including just a few taps of the space bar in each required field.
