Brendan,
Its a Windows and SBIG Driver thing.
Think it has to do with the image download due to the SBIG cameras not having any image buffer - they need to make sure nothing else is happening in real time so you dont lose bits of your image.
You need two separate computers !
Which will cause all sorts of other problems like camera coordination on image runs, how do you dither between subs etc
Not sure if its possible to run a second virtual machine and get control - suspect not an you will still have the same limitations as far as coordinating them - maybe use a scripted image management package like ACP or CCD Autopilot.
But as far as I know what you (and many others) would like to do is presently impossible.
It would be nice if SBIG could rewrite things to do this.
They would sell more cameras if they made it easier !
But I think its a fundamental hardware design problem.
Cheers
Rally
