Thanks for the response - I'll investigate a bit more but here is what I know.

MaximDL uses "SBIG Universal" 6.12.0 to operate legacy SBIG cameras (see here: diffractionlimited.com/help/maximdl/HIDD_SETUPST7.htm ), and they offer DSS support. So if you are using SBIG Universal Drivers already, it's likely the driver is in there.

As far as the protocol, I'll look around the existing Linux solutions for SBIG cameras. I haven't been able to make any of them run, but perhaps they will give clues as to how to talk to the DSS.

Thanks!
