The files in this directory are necessary for running legacy SBIG cameras with
XmCCD.  

The library version in this directory is the last one released by SBIG for its
legacy cameras.  Newer cameras from Diffraction Limited/SBIG are not supported.
  
The .hex files are firmware that the system must upload to the camera whenever
the camera is connected and powered on.  The transfer is handled by
/sbin/fxload.  Typically fxload is available as a post-installation software 
option. 

The file 96-sbig.rules has the USB device specifications used by current Linux
distributions. 

The script install_sbig will copy files from this directory to the appropriate
target directories for 64-bit linux.  

This version of XmCCD is build to use only the USB cameras, while the driver
will support the oldest parallel port cameras. Contact kielkopf@louisville.edu
if you need to use a parallel port camera.  

Some of the later legacy cameras also have an Ethernet interface.  XmCCD
supports those cameras only with the USB interface at this time.
