MP760: V3 2000 with 8MB Ram
MP860: V3 2000 with 16MB Ram
MP9x0: V3 3000 with 16MB Ram (no difference between 950 & 960

Problem: My MacPaloma I took from my MP540 does not work on MP750/760/850/860/960. (The MacPaloma software tells me to ask for an update)

Answer: This is true. These MacPalomas shipped at MP540 time need a small rework. For the people who like to solder themselves, see the Download page under TV-Audio-Video-in module. For all the others, please contact our support about how to proceed.

More Text: We really tried to make an universal module connector on the MP540, but unfortunately we used an operation mode in the MacPaloma not supported by some graphics controllers, like the one on MP850. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Haha, a Mac Paloma can work on a Banshee or Avenger too! :D

TM30; would you be willing to make a photograph of the Paloma seperately?
