SittingElf Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Minelab is missing the boat on potential sales of the CTX 3030 and E-TRAC. Their software only works on Windoze. Yuck! I would actually have an interest in purchasing a 3030 if the software was compatible with a Mac, but I'll be damned if I had to buy a Windoze PC in order to run their program. And for those who have the suggestion of just using Bootcamp..forget it. I won't pollute my Macs with ANY Windows crap, even in a virtual mode. C'mon Minelab, hire a programmer to port the program, and earn a bunch of new customers for your highest end FSB's! (Indian Programmers are cheap!) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Herschbach Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 I believe they are working on it. This note from page 67 of the Equinox Instruction Manual.... “Software Updates - EQUINOX Series detector have the ability to accept software updates via USB and XChange 2 (Windows or Mac OS compatible).” Personally I am using Bootcamp at this time so my Mac has been polluted! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taltexan Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 I hope so if Minelab does updates. Still waiting on the first update on the CTX. LOL. Deus needs to follow also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Herschbach Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 There have been two updates to the CTX. The first was in 2012 and added the seawater mode setting, pinpoint lock, and system updates.... https://www.minelab.com/__files/f/115754/ctx-3030-upgrade-brochure.pdf The second update was in 2016 and added a Chinese language option... https://www.minelab.com/usa/customer-care/product-notices?article=294107 The GPZ 7000 has also had two updates since release.

DukeBoxer Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 I'd love it if I could update my Equinox (if and when) on Linux and not have to pollute my computer with Windows or spend thousands of dollars on a Mac. This post is 100% true and 100% here to stir the pot, haha! The link is to Ubuntu's website if anyone is interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
