yea I would set up a virtual machine with win98...

The reason the ST-4 works with older versions of windows and not newer ones is that the ST-4 is actually not new technology.. The ST-4 has been around for many years... Despite its age, they are fantastic guiding systems. There isn't really any reason you should need to connect it to a computer... Everything can be controlled by the hand controller, the only real difficulty is focusing, but once you've achieved focus once in your guide scope, just mark a line on the focuser draw tube and from then on, you should be able to get it VERY close without any troubles at all..
