Greg,
I’ve been using 2 set ups with a ZWOASI120MM-S camera as a guide camera in my Orion 60mm guide scope with helical focuser for 2 and 3 years respectively with PHD2 and no real issues.
This camera is USB3 and I use a 5m long USB2A to USB2B from laptop to camera which has no connection or operational issues at all
When I first started guiding I originally purchased a ZWOASI120MM USB2 Camera and had intermittent connection problems for weeks. I googled some various forums and found out his camera had driver issues and required a patch or upgrade of some kind from ZWO. I didn’t muck around and was advised to buy the USB3 version so I bought the USB3 camera and it’s been working perfectly for 3 years ( The old USB2 Camera is still in a drawer gathering dust )
Cheers
