Hi Andrew
The firmware from statistics is A1F7 (though when the controller boots up it shows 497EP A1F1, is this the same?)
AZ/RA Ratio = -2.75074482
ALT/DEC Ratio = +2.75074482
AZ/RA Percentage = 10%
ALT/DEC Percentage = 10%
I couldn't find any settings under drive train except that it started asking me if i wanted to train the drives
Are these settings acceptable? Also is that the current firmware? I was told by Bintel that they dont install the firmware from Meade but from another site, which contains fixes for the meade firmware done by some guy. Forgot the name sorry

Basically, if you have a drive train value of 100 arcsecs, it means that when the scope changes direction, there is 100arcsec of slop in the geartrain that must be taken up before it starts moving again.
The percentage values tells the scope how much of this to apply at high speed, so what people normally do is start at say 90 and just try the buttons.
If it "jumps" in the EP due to a bit of overrrun when you press the buttons, just drop it to 80 and try again.
