Hey all:
Thanks for the comments/suggestions. The evening of the day I wrote the post I took everything outside again and this time had one computer doing guiding etc and one doing APT. The 6930p recognizes the 40D, the T61 doesn't crash in Stellarium. I even got the wife to help out connect things up and help me align things!
Part of the problem of the night was a lack of preparation: its all very well to think you've got everything installed, right up to the point you plug in the DSI and realise that you've no idea where the hell the drivers are and oh look at that, neither does windows (".... what is this dude? Some kinda scanner?" "No its a camera" "Nah.... s'not a camera").
The second night everything went perfectly, apart from me not understanding how APT works and figuring out that on the fly. That and having trouble with a guidestar.
I think the two PC approach will stand atm. It lets me monitor the EQMod guidance commands (I love graphs....) as well as control the camera.
