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

Sorry I made a mistake in my previous post. You will need a 9 pin to 9 pin serial cable with the EQDIR not. One going to the mount the other going to your laptop. Sorry about that.
The RJ45 cable is for use with the hand controller (?) and RJ12 for the guideport which you don't need to worry about.
Hope this helps.
