Gday Paul
I dont know if i'm off track here but heres what i do.
I connect my EQ6 via the data port at ythe base of the synscan handset using the cable that is supplied with the mount to update the firmware. I just have a serial extension lead I mdade from the end of the update cable to the desktop. I used to use a USB to Serial Adapter when i used my laptop.
Then in the SKY6 I use Telescope API under the set up tab and under Settings I set it to EQMOD ASCOM EQ5/6. Prior to loading EQMOD I used Nextstar GPS (or Nextstar non GPS - I forget - try both) and that would work however I had asome problems if I was connected via the sky 6 and I went to the telescope and manually slewed it wouldnt stop slewing - thats why I cahnged to EQMOD. Also obviously set the moubnt handset to PCDriect under the Utilities menu.
If this doesnt answer what your question is - yell out - It works well when you get it going.
