CS1 and NEF files

I'm having a similar problem as the person using CS4.    I know it's compatibility.

I use iPhoto 9 (for storage and organization mainly) and Photoshop CS1 (Yes, the first CS).  It is easy to understand how to open RAW files in an external editor (PS) - just checking a few boxes in iPhoto preferences.

The message I get when trying to open the RAW files is "could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document."

My camera is a Nikon D3200.  The version of the Camera Raw plugin I have is 2.0.

Search through this site, I've determined:

(1) CS1 is compatible with the plug-in versions 2.0 to 2.4 raw

(2) plug in minimum required for my D3200 is 7.1

(3) the DNG Converter provides backward compatibility for free in PS CS2, etc..   Why not CS1?

(4) but to use the DNG Converter, on one of the pages of the site, it says I need plugin 2.3 or later.

(5) see #1.  That means, if I can find a copy of 2.3 plug-in (which would have been compatible with CS1), I can succeed this workflow?

I can't afford to upgrade to a new version of PS - had no money.  How can I get a copy of the plugin 2.3?  How can I make my NEF files play nice with CS1?

Thank you!

If you have downloaded and installed the mac version of the 2.4 camera raw in cs, then you also need the 7.4 dng converter to convert your

Nikon D3200 files camera raw dng best, then you can open dng files in photoshop cs.

You may need to use compatibility settings in the change preferences > compatibility in the dng converter so the DNG opens in photoshop cs.

So you could experiment with a file or two before converting all files.
