So Pulse gives speed and duration but has to go via the firmware whereas ST4 signal is on/off only (ie duration) at whatever guide rate is set (typically 0.5x) and acts directly on the motor controller.

You are probably correct but as there is NO information re the gemini ascom driver and so since they give it the same name I assumed it had the same functionality as the EQMOD version. Anyway using the Gemini ascom driver and PHD i had very excellent guiding - no matter what its doing under the hood I really don't care as the guiding at 2500mm was excellent.
