I don't have the same problem as I'm using either a ST10 or a ST8 for imaging. I have found that CCDSoft will work with 2 SBIG cameras attached but is inconsistent. If I use use the ST10 and the STi it can't decide which one is USB1 and USB2. It seems to swap around after the computer is restarted.
I have given up on the hassle and am now using a very cheapy laptop for the guider and my normal observatory computer for the imaging camera. Both run CCDSoft and work independantly perfectly well. I can also have my old QHY guider running at the same time on the observatory computer.
Currently I am taking a spectra using the ST8. It is guided with the STi from the guide port on the spectrograph using the lappy. I also have the QHY guider in my guide scope as an aiming device to originally to find the dim star that I'm taking a spectra of.
So maybe 2 puters is the easy way out.
Cheers
