So a few responses have come back now, finally including SB!

1. The SS2K-PC has it's own native control mode, as well as the ability to emulate a Celestron Ultima or Meade LX200; SB have chosen the LX200 mode emulator to claim it supports the SS2K (kinda like hobbling a Ferrari down to a Datsun - but I can see it would do all basic functions).

2. It appears high precision pointing mode is selectable

3. It appears that there are three driver choices - i) LX200, ii) X2 -> ASCOM SS2K or iii) X2 -> ASCOM LX200

Still querying which driver is better...

4. Still awaiting SB's feedback on whether each of the above options allows all Telescope Initialisation functions enabled with each of the above driver choices

5. Still awaiting Bob Denny's feedback on whether SS2K driver offers more functionality than the LX200 driver!
