I am concerned that the Gemini driver might not get updated to support the new standards. I don't think we're talking about any new standards here, nor are we ...
Me: I personally hate "helping" people who have back-reved to 4.1 because "Uncle Festus told me that might help" without understanding the problem(s) they are...
FYI, for those that didn't see the poll There'd be more responses if one didn't have to join LinkedIn to respond. I can safely say that at least 80% of my...
Ray Bob Denny uses to control the ASCOM web site, or at least it was hosted on one of his computers. I remember it going down, when we had a bad storm here in...
Ray (echoing others' thoughts): Hi Chris, I hope that the 4.1 platform will be made available directly from the ASCOM site. I think it is the right thing to...
What worries me is that not all the people that writes driver will update the drivers. I am concerned that the Gemini driver might not get updated to support ...
I have been on this forum since May of 2004, so I lack any hands-on history going back to the beginning in November of 2000. I would like to offer a few...
FYI, for those that didn't see the poll: Online: http://polls.linkedin.com/poll-results/46376/lweeu The sample size is only 50 but it is a useful indicator. ...
I agree with that. --Tim ... From: ASCOM-Talk@yahoogroups.com [mailto:ASCOM-Talk@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Ray Gralak (Yahoo Groups) Sent: Tuesday, July...
I would even be willing to allow the ASCOM group free web space to host the ASCOM web site on, or act as a backup mirror site. I could create a ASCOM...

Hi Rodney, I think people will continue using XP for a long time despite the fact that it is available with (a fee-required) extended support only. I think...
Hi Tom, Here it is: http://www.siriusimaging.com/ASCOM/V4 Again, I hope that the older platform and drivers will be made available from the ASCOM web site,...
Chris, I agree 100%, regardless of OS support the older 4.1 platform should still be available. Taking into account my recent update of the OBS PC to XP Pro...
I think that if we can't provide support for older systems with the current version of ASCOM we should provide an older version of ASCOM. I think we should do...
Tim The telescope is permanently mounted in my observatory. It is in polar mode on the wedge. Regards the pointing error I can estimate it about 3-4 degrees ...
Hi Tom, ... Thanks for the thought. I've had such a directory on a web site in place for some time though I don't really advertise it (I think the link might...
Ray, just a suggestion. Why don't you get the ASCOM's group permission (You might not need it) and host the older versions of the ASCOM software. That way it...

Rodney, that's interesting. I am getting that error now and then when I use the "Dome Control and Hub". I was having enough problem (some other issues too)...
Tim, Is that poll limited to linkedin users? I think a better way to approach this is to post polls across all the telescope groups. But I'm not sure even then...
The point is always the same. If your happy frozen in time on an older system then don't upgrade and keep all your software as it is. It is like any other...
... I think you missed the point... I never said not to support current operating systems. I just said it might be a mistake to leave legacy users in the dust...
