Huh? I assume A3S5 is latest.
No its not
A4S1 is the latest, and its orrible as well ( I suspect you may have had that loaded, as its caught a few people now )

Why don't you recommend it?
Its full of bugs, and also, in an attempt to get LX80s working, Meade have been reworking how motor speed calculations get done, PEC has been neutered to be almost useless and new bugs have been introduced.
As such, i gave up trying to patch the later firmwares as ( IMHO ) there was no benefit.

what do you recommend for an ETX-90?
What type????
ie is it an older classic or one of the new units with the plugs in the fork arms???
The new ETX-90s use a different drive system to the older ones and as such need to be selected with correct ratios in order to work.
Recent firmwares cocked this up and select the new units using the old ratios, and as such, they wont point properly.
Need to know more about what you have, but i would probably suggest using patched A1F7 firmware, and selecting your mount as an ETX-80.
