+===== Selected solution =====
-===== Plugin replacement =====
+From your remarks it look like it is good to keep a native CdC driver for this well used interfaces. But the fact it is a plugin or not is not important.
+The solution is to integrate the code of the old Meade and Encoder drivers to the CdC main code. This will keep the full functionality of the driver and remove the limitation to use them on Windows 64, Linux or Mac system.
+The following Mantis issue will follow the development status: http://www.ap-i.net/mantis/view.php?id=745
+===== Discussion =====
+=== Plugin replacement ===
 There were originally three plugins: Meade, Encoders, ASCOM

 For me it can be replaced, I only use INDI LX200 Basic or ASCOM Generic LX-200 with my Mel Bartels mount.

 I no more use Ouranos so I cannot tell about this one. --- //[[pch@freesurf.ch|Patrick Chevalley]] 2010/09/03 16:50//
+I am using encoders and the driver emulates the Tangent encoders.  The ASCOM version of the drivers supplied with my encoders does not work correctly-- spencer@soohoos.org---2010/11/08

-Say here if you developed a specific plugin and you not want the system be removed from the program.

 I also noticed small bugs using the Ascom driver in combination with LX200GPS mount. When setting the time, it reports back to CdC 'Irvine' as the name of the place of observation. And I did set my local coordinates and the name of our city which is Nijmegen instead of Irvine. This can be a problem of the LX200GPS (vesion 4.7g) instead of the Ascom driver.
-  And also the marked position on the chart of where the scope is directed to is most often wrong. It 's not much of a problem, slewing the scope to wished positions works flawlessly fine.

 At home I also use Mel Bartels' Scope, and so do many of my friends.

+------------------
+You should not remove the driver(s). I use the LX200 driver to point my LX200GPS. I also see the "Irvine" site used. Try as I may, it never replaces the file when I "save" it. I use this with Carte Du Ciel because it is so easy to initialize and it works! Please, test anything new before you drop the present versions~ Thanks for a great program! - Floyd
