I recently got my hands on matrox solios XA. It's a frame grabber so I'm thinking using it as a video capture card. Upon booting, It got recognized by windows but it lacks drivers. I tried matrox imaging website but driver support is missing. Does anyone have drivers for it? I've heard MIL(matrox imaging library) comes with drivers but it seems like appropriate versionfor this card (8.0/9.0) is unobtainable...

Welcome to Vogons 😀

Have you checked out any of these options?...

...you can get free access (online registration required) to MIL-Lite X here https://imaging.matrox.com/en/imaging/apps/mil-lite

...couldn't find MIL 9.x, but there is a copy of MIL-Lite 8.0 (& 7.5) - https://web.archive.org/web/20051022054421/ht … l-lite8_zip.cfm - which you can download from here ftp://ftp.esrf.fr/scisoft/Chinchio/

After a lot of trial and error, I finally got it working. It seems MIL 8.0 does not work with 32-bit version of windows 10 so don't waste time like i did... 🙁

Thanks a lot!!
A genuine question though, how did you find such an obscure software from never-heard-before ftp server? ftp.esrf.fr...European Synchrotron Radiation Facility???

Good to know you got it working...finding the software was pretty straightforward - once I had actual filenames to work with (got from the links on this page https://web.archive.org/web/20051017133905/ht … wnload/home.cfm) I just fed those into the Mamont ftp search engine and the ESRF links popped up 😀

Using mamont ftp search, I found an old version of MIL-X which still supports Solios XA under windows 10 X64! Now the question is how do i upload this on the internet archive without getting sued....

Doubt if anyone is getting sued 😀...more likely just pulled from the site in response to a DMCA request from Zebra / Matrox Imaging, assuming they even notice.

Lucky that I found this post. I was pulling my hair out to find the Mil-X supporting Solios EVCLF under windows 10. I tried mamont ftp, all the link seems long dead. Can you share with me, what is the magic keyword to locate it? Many thanks!

Hello.
Could you please provide MIL8.0 and MIL7.5 ( Matrox image library) for me? Link in a topic not active. I have a PACE rework station. She uses this software. After losing a PC to control this station I try to find software to run it. Thanks!!!

Hi, i believe i have what you are looking for.

I work with X-Ray machines and was browsing looking for anything that we can use to Update our old XP Workstations for our clients to Windows 10. i've tried 32-Bit version Windows 10 and 64 but could never get Mil 8 to work right with our Solios Cards.

I am trying this Mil-X as we speak and will see how it goes.

Here is the File Structure for the zip and the included download. 😀
