This is driving me nuts! I have a recently acquired ST200XM with a CFW8 fitted and need to connect it to my Losmandy G11G mount. The Gemini is a G1 but of the newer type with a rocker switch and DIN plugs for the motors.

The FW connects to the ST2000 with a plug that also has an RJ45 type socket (see attached image). I assumed that was the correct place to connect my guide cable. I tried it that way but it does not work, in fact the Gemini gives an alarm sound on power up if I connect that way.

So there is an alternate - that is to use the supplied mutiple adapter cable and the 9pin to RJ cable. (see photo).

That does not work either so now I am stumped.

The phone type guide cable I have is straight through (I used to connect a QHY5 to the Gemini with it so I know it works!) - should they be a different pattern, if so what?
