Ta, thanks guys - I just read that about DSLR Focus not yet controlling the 400D - hope that upgrade fix does come soon!

That DIY cable looks beyond what I'd want to do at home (wimp out), so I might buy one off shoestring astronomy - they've done well by me in the past!

PS

I did ask the salesman serving us I specifically about the cabling needed to control this camera remotely for PC controlled astrophotography, his response - no idea! At least he was honest! I asked my brother who works for Canon research labs if you needed any cables to run this camera and his thoughts were no, data and control signals all run over the USB 2.0 bus, and their is an SDK available too. Have to probe if there is a way without the Bulb function to do long shots!
