Okay, now for another hardware question. I have had a look at the GuidePOrt on the EQ5 and the EQDIR. The EQDIR has a 9pin serial at each end. I also got a piece of ribbon cable with it. 9 Pin at one end and RJ45 at the other. However, I only have an RJ12 socket on the EQ5 - the autoguider port.

Do you know if any 9pin to RJ12 cable will work? Or do you know the pin assignments on the EQDIR?

I do have another cable with 9pin and RJ12 plugs, but I have checked with my multimeter and the pins are totally different.

Thanks
Darrell
