Allan,

Thanks for the information. I will give it a go as soon as I get the chance.

I have a serial-to-USB converter and I'm quite sure I have the relevant serial cable.

Laptop -> serial-to-USB -> serial cable -> RS232 port on mount.

I will have a go tonight and see if I can get it working without the GPUSB. Never tried it. Is there provision for GPUSB should I require it? I'm at work at the moment and can't download the software to try it out.

Regards,
Humayun

I connect to the rs232 port and a serial to usb converter and I use the Gemini 4.2.22 driver, as the Gemini 4.2.27 driver doesnt work for me for some reason. Then I set the ascom control in Alignmaster to the gemini setup in ascom and away you go.
Hope this helps
Allan
