D'oh!.....now I've EQMOD going, but handset refuses to talk to the mount (no link to M.C. error). Found out the hard way at Cambroon last night.
Oh well, I'd planned to go 98% EQMOD anyway, just didn't expect the doors behind me to close. I've tried a couple of cables - will have to try refreshing the handset firmware next when I get access to a serial port. Hope I haven't done anything to the mount. EQMOD seems fine - trouble is I can only work 20% of it at the moment....
Wasn't going to rush into a gamepad, but better get that sorted now I s'pose. Does seem good, even though a bit cryptic in the interface here and there.
