yep and they are not the only ones - include software bisket in that lot as well. i still cannot use Automadome, however i can use the ASCOM dome control (and the gemini .net driver) Initially i was using the USB serial on the gemini and had that timing out for some reason so i swapped it over and had the dome operating with it and the dedicated serial driving the mount (have PC with serial port) . I did have a problem again after a microsoft update about 3-4 weeks ago but everything is now working OK after reloading the ASCOM drivers.
