> I upped the number of cameras on line #1 by one.
> I added a camera line named SBIG STL-11000M with the following data;

> TC-237 chip size chg'd from 640,480 to 657,495.

bottom;

> "12 Jun 2003: Pat Madden mentioned that SBIG was releasing some new
> "Research" cameras (913-917 above). These have TC-237 guider chips.
> Placement isn't mentioned, so I just put the chips a little bit apart.
> Specs are from http://www.sbig.com/sbwhtmls/large_format_cameras.htm"

> Did you put something out "12 Jun 2003" adding these five extra
camera
> lines? I couldn't find anything listed on the Guide8 update8.htm page

> What do I need to do yo get my beloved Guide8 running again.
