[edit] Porting
J. Wiegley would like to assist in porting CHDK to this model. He's got a camera, some free time and a brain but needs help as he has never worked on a CHDK port before. He can be reached at jeffw*at*csun.edu. The implementors of the A650 port would be most welcome since it appears these cameras are the duals of each other in the A-series and SD-series and might share very similar firmware.
Shawn Morrissey (Shawnmor 18:46, 22 July 2008 (UTC)) (shawn.morrissey at hotmail dot com) would be happy to assist the port to the SD950IS as well. He has a camera, and is willing to help test and debug.
David Stanton 8/21/2008 (david dot longjohn dot stanton at gmail dot com) is also available to assist with porting. Have camera and willing to check for and report bugs, etc. Loaded Juciphox autobuild, but did not find "Firm Update" selection on menu.
[edit] Firmware dumps
Firmware has been extracted from both the SD950 IS (US Model, P-ID: 315F NT D) and the IXUS960 IS (International model, P-ID: 315F PAL D). The firmware is identical for each.

[edit] Porting completed*
Finally there is a working CHDK version in trunk for firmware version 1.00d (1.00d is European version of the firmware for this camera according to the Canon support person to whom I spoke), it can be found here: http://mighty-hoernsche.de/
*for firmware version 1.00D only. There is a dump of the North American version of this model's firmware 1.00C [see link above] which was not included in the port.
