Why don't you respond to me or the other members on your broken driver? Just admit it is broken and let us know when it will be fixed. I own two of your very expensive cameras and that amount of service we are right to expect!

I downloaded your latest ASI ASCOM camera driver version 6.5 that was released in December 2020. I tested it with the ASCOM Conformance test application (Conform). There were some issues reported by Conform that could be easily fixed.
The reported issues are:
No validation on the writing the camera's cooler target to absolute 0 or 100 degC. Writing values that are outside the valid range for the camera should throw an InvalidValueException.
No error reading the BayerOffsetX/Y values for a monochrome sensor. When a monochrome camera is connected, reading these properties should throw a PropertyNotImplementedException.
Reading the SensorName property raised a PropertyNotImplementedException, when the property is not Optional and should return at least an empty string. This may be due to a documentation error which has been reported and will be corrected in the next release of the ASCOM Platform.
Prior to installing the latest driver release I had been using a version of the driver that I downloaded in mid-2019. In this driver the Setup dialog allowed me to choose image types of RAW8 or RAW16. When I shot images with RAW8 selected, the values returned had maximum values of 255. This is not what ASCOM client applications expect. They expect values from 0 to 65535. The correct behavior for your 8-bit camera support should be to shift the lower 8 bits to the right by 8-bits. You may have fixed this, but I was unable to test it because the new driver would not let me select RAW8 for my 178 camera.
I strongly advise your driver developers to download Conform from the ASCOM web site and use it to validate your driver(s) prior to release.
Finally, your English language web site lists ASCOM 6.5 as the latest release of the ASCOM Platform. In fact it is ASCOM 6.5 SP1. Service Pack 1 was recently released.
Sincerely,
Richard D Burke
