Mi Marc,
That is correct but lately I do all my guiding via the Autoguider port as, as you say, it frees up the RS232 port and that made me forget the ASCOM platform and gives me less trouble.
At the endeffect you only need to guide and a planetarium program connected to the Gemini GoTo in order to use the mount.
I am still guiding with the old parallel port and a Shoestring GPINT-PT adapter. I also have a GPUSB adapter as well as a GPUSB-AH and a GPINT-PTAH adapter.
All of Doug Andersons adapters do work flawless.
