Does anyone else have a mount connecting to TSX via the LX200 driver?

Hi folks a quick request if I may,

If anyone has The SkyX and they can connect their mount to it using the Meade Instruments LX200 driver (not the ASCOM LX200 driver) - could you please do a test for me:

If you have APT (full licence or free trial) when you connect your scope in APT via the ASCOM X2 driver for The SkyX - do you see tracking enabled or not?

I am trying to pin down is an issue occuring in APT stem from the Meade Instruments LX200 driver not implementing the Tracking status command - or is it the Vixen SkySensor2000-PC in LX200 mode does something that the Meade Insturments LX200 driver assesses that the mount can't track!

Many thanks if you are willing and able to help!

PS a Software Bisque Developer has a 10 Micron mount he connects using the LX200 driver - so I have asked him if he can do the above test for myself and Ivo (APT) to understand the behaviour better!
