Re: [APML] ST-7Ei as a guider (Was: New ST-4s)

Thanks Alan. My concern is that the ST-7 chip size combined with the fact that
the ST-7i is NOT a USB interface means downloads will be too slow for guiding. I
previously used a ST-237 and the downloads were barely fast enough. I want the
STV, but am waiting for SBIG to produce either a USB version, or better yet, a
firewire version.
