I do not currently use OSCAR but would like to. I have a windows 10 PC and would appreciate an SD card reader recommendation. One that has a USB connector and can be connected full time to the PC.

Thanks

[Jeff8356]

Just about any SD card reader you find on Amazon should work. I have a Ugreen multi card reader and it has a 12" long USB cable on it.
Just make sure you are getting the USB Connector that matches what your computer has (USB-A or USB-C).

Thank you........

Hi, I'm Shaun. I am brand new to therapy (one horrible week today) and am determined it will work. I will be among the success stories. I think this week will be better as I received a new mask in the mail today after discovering for sure that I am a combination breather. The sores on the nose are another issue, ha.

I am excited for the opportunity to use Oscar to help me understand and manage my therapy. I am using a ResMed 11 machine and see the support for it is new in the 1.3.0 version. When I click on the download buttons I am brought to a page that tells me it is version 1.2.0. Am I using an incorrect link, or is that the file I need?

Thank you for any help and for this in general.

[Gideon]

No, it should not say 1.2.0

There are many different OS versions on the DL page, which one are you talking about.

[Shaun M]

Thank you for the reply. I came to edit that I'd found it. Im looking at it now. 

Thank you!

Shaun, (and anyone else) make sure you're downloading OSCAR from the official download page at:

https://www.SleepFiles.com/OSCAR

There's been a few reports over the past year that some folks had issues when trying to download OSCAR (and other software we host) from a non-official page, or some type of popup ad.  Never been able to find out exact web addresses for those fake sites, but given the fact that at least 3 people have reported such things, I'm pretty convinced now that there's some fake download sites out there.  These isolated instances may be due to ad-serving browser extensions that some have inadvertently installed.

Please note also that although the official OSCAR download page is on SleepFiles.com, the installation files themselves are hosted on ApneaBoard.com

[Gideon]

I'll add that anything downloaded from the official site is safe.

so...if I download this from the above link...will it replace the old version? will I have to do anything to synch up my machine data? etc? Or is it just a matter of downloading the new version and not having to do anything further?
