The item in Peter's post appears to be an all in one Bluetooth-to-serial/rs232-to-TTL signal converter thus eliminating the need for a separate EQDIR dongle.
I've been following these EQMOD threads as well as I've recently hooked up my mount using EQMOD but via the handpad and it's working like a charm. Am waiting for EQDIR dongle from Shoestring and have been tossing up the idea of going Bluetooth serial but the pricing of adaptors is a bit prohibitive unless I go for a Chinese eBay one.
