Thanks Kevin,
My son whose been in IT for 15 years came over on the weekend and tried to connect with the keyspan USB adapter via PC Direct mode
We selected and could see the port on device manager / ports (COM9)
Powered the mount
Placed hand controller into PC Direct mode
Select mount on Stellarium scope
Select Eqmod Ascom HEQ5/6 in telescope chooser
Select properties , EQMOD Ascom set up window appears
Check site info etc
Check port details (COM9)
Click binocular icon. Port says found !!
Press OK
Press connect in Stellarium scope
EQMOD HEQ5/6 window appears on the LHS
As soon as you hover the mouse pointer over it , the pointer changes to a blue circle ( EQMOD not responding )
And then you have to shutdown or restart
He tried reassigning a new port ( bearing in mind we didn't use any hubs etc..)
Still no connection
We even changed the cable ( I buzzed out the pin assignments and continuity of the cable and it's spot on )
As soon as we used the Shoestring cable USB2EQ5 direct from laptop to mount and installed the drivers , the mount connected and we were in business
Any further ideas or procedures on the PC Direct method as we tried everything
Thanks
