Mine worked when I connected it yesterday in Win 7 (32 Bit). Can't vouch for other OSs.

Yes Peter - you will need to cut off the flat connector and attach an RJ45 connector as per the wiring on the EQMOD site. The link I posted is the 3.3V version of the FTDI USB-Serial TTL 5V cable most of us have been using with the EQ6. If you can attach the right connector you can make it for a little over $18. Dontronics is in Melbourne and very good to deal with in my experience.
