Do you count software as equipment? The Sky6 Professional Edition wasn't too friendly with the ASCOM drivers (nor MaxPoint) if you tried to share your mount via any of its drivers (directly or via the dreaded - by me - TelescopeAPI option.
It took ages to realise you simply had to direct connect the Sky 6 to your mounts driver, then have everything else point to the (ASCOM) A Sky controlled telescope. Even this set up prevents Astro Tortilla from sending sync's to a Sky6 controlled mount on successful plate solves.
The Bisque team put out a pretty strong statement that ASCOM is an industry initiative, not a standard, that not all all folk ascribe too. They when on to give their view as to how and where it falls short of being a standard. We live in an imperfect world!
