The first drive unit includes a first drive mechanism for engaging the two rotatable knobs or gears replacing the two rotatable knobs. The system further includes a second drive unit attachable to the shaft of the endoscope. The second drive unit is capable of linearly translating the shaft forward and backward. A user interface engageable by a palm of a hand controls the first drive mechanism.
