[guide-user] Scope control
Andre Germain Jan 23, 2000
Bill,
1) My system is a 486 LX200 clone under DOS mated to guide on an
adjacent Pentium 166. Thus, no multi-tasking priority and real
time problems.
2) Ephemeris file dump for satelite tracking is perfectly acceptable.
It will be lots of fun code for me to write! :)
3) Can we INVENT new LX200 commands? Or have they already
and are reticent to let us know the format?
4) Any time frame for mech comp? Want us to be your beta testers?
5) Darn, if only the scope manufacturers agreed to a standard
format; it's the Beta & VHS story of sorts.
Cheers
