XmTel is intended for interactive remote telescope operation. It is not primarily a robotic telescope control system, but rather a "hands-on" remote telescope interface with a server that permits remote operation and robotic control by making use of INDI for command line, scripted, and and interactive operation. ... We have adapted this telescope to the Galil controllers, and the Galil driver included here will operate a wide class of telescopes with that modification. ...

... The software was originally developed as a set of Fortran routines which were available both as stand-alone executables and as IRAF tasks in the Dither package. ... This set of code formed the basis for a more automated task for aligning images to produce distortion-corrected images; namely, the Python task PyDrizzle (Section 5.3) . Finally, all the steps required to identify cosmic rays using the aligned images produced by PyDrizzle were automated in the Python task MultiDrizzle (Section 5.4) . ...

... This file is intended to provide a basic functional overview of the EISA Bus, so that hobbyists and amateurs can design their own EISA compatible cards. ... EISA is upwardly compatible, which means that cards originally designed for the 8 bit IBM bus (often referred to as the XT bus) and cards designed for the 16 bit bus (referred to as the AT bus, and also as the ISA bus), will work in an EISA slot. ... This is used by the slave device to inform the bus master that it is capable of 16 bit transfers...
