Sherwood Amphos Air Error Code: -8, Failed to read DC memory

Good Day

I purchased a Sherwood Amphos Air for my girlfriend and we recently got to use it on a dive. I will be purchasing a DC myself shortly, but have not made up my mind on which one yet.

I am running Yosemite (10.10.2), with all available patches in place from Apple and I have a demo version (2.3.6) of MacDive installed. I installed the required drivers and if I look at the output of the console they look to have been loaded correctly. I tried DiveLog Lite from the Mac App store and it was able to successfully access the dive computers.

Every time I attempt to download the DC, I get an error code -8, with a message that it couldn't read the dive computer memory.

Looking into the console, there are the following messages:
2015-03-23 2:42:47.559 PM MacDive[446]: Unknown Device: 0x4546 (17734)

Any suggestions?

The issue is that it's not actually supported yet!

I hadn't tested any data from one. If you can drop me an email to support, I can fix this pretty quickly. I just need to update MacDive to know about the particular model.

For the forum, support is added and available in the latest beta (email me if you want to try it). It will be in the next official release.
