Again not that this will be of much relevance to most but by specifying the Vendor ID of my Serial to USB cable in the properties box of the USB "new filter 1" I created to detect and access the cable in my virtual Windows machine (this is under Ports in Vitualbox) I got EQMOD and the camera to work together and Cartes du Ciels slewing as well. Rapt! I'm assuming the blank filter in virtual box didn't allow the other filter to function properly. It could just be that I plugged everything in the right order too: scope on the everything connected before starting VirtualBox and Windows? Anyway it's good to know that free virtual software can get an HEQ5 up and running with a ProStar LP-Mono Guide cam via the PC Direct Mode on the mount hand controller!
