I was able to give it a try tonight after all.

I just verified I was at v1.02, v1.11 refers to *istD model firmware (which is the "last" version it was built to, date of the software is 2004). I downloaded and installed the Remote Assistant and tried to get it to work anyway, it doesn't seem able to with the K100D.

The best I got was an error message from the Remote Assistant telling me it lost communication to the camera when I powered it off. Other than that, nada.

grrrrrrrrrr.
