I tested this in the field a few nights ago and the slews from TSX were completely off. I mean pointing south instead of west.
after a lot of digging around, I found that TSX requires topocentric co-ordinates.
so changing the epoch in eqascom to B1950 solved the problem.

thought it might help someone using tsx with this mount.

btw, this was the same with an azeq6. both slewed to the same incorrect area when j2000 was chosen in eqascom and a slew issued from tsx.

cheers
