Finally resolved this problem.
See this thread http://meade4m.com/forum/index.php/topic,2146.0.html

Re: Weird problem with DSI imager


Before giving up entirely, try resetting the EPROM. Sometimes the
EPROM in the camera gets corrupted and it "forgets" what camera/chip
it's running.

You can reset the EPROM by:

In Windows, click on: Start, Run, CMD
From the Command prompt type:
cd "C:\Program Files\Meade\AutostarSuite\Envisage"
then type: envisage ICX429ALL

This will write the chip number into the camera's EPROM. ICX429ALL is
the chip in the DSI II Pro according to the Meade literature.

My DSI IIIc had a corrupted EPROM and would only output odd 640x480
images. I found this fix on another site (read this thread
http://meade4m.com/forum/index.php/topic,2146.0.html) and tried it by
specifying the chip for my DSI IIIc, and it fixed everything. Not
sure this has anything to do with your problem, but it might be worth
a try.

Well bugger me I tried it and the damed DSI came back to life. This must be the Lazarus command for DSI's

Still does not change what I think about Bintel - but does confirm what I think about Meade programming.
