Hi Peter
What is the trouble running the Gemini 1. I don't have access to the Gemini 1 now because I gave the mount to my son. However I was able to control the Gemini 1 using the Meade protocol.

I wrote a control program in Qbasic (the only language I can program in) that could access all the Gemini functions.

I then modified the program to run in QB64(Gl), actually a c++ program with Qbasic commands and runs Qbasic source, so it will work on modern O/S's

I have a version of QB64(gl) that runs perfectly in Ubuntu Linux and runs all my Qb64(GL) source code. It works on my LX200 so I expect it will work on the Gemini 1

Barry
