bypassing Meade autostar handbox

Hey folks, I sold my LX 90 OTA and the handbox never thinking I would need it again. Now I have the insane idea of putting an old Celestron C8 back onto the fork mount (which I never chucked). Can I bypass the need to operate it without the handbox- using autostar on my pc?
I seem to remember the USB connection on Meades is via the handbox.
My mount has two aux ports and I also still have the old 909 module if that helps plus a serial USB adaptor.
Any help please
NB it's a four year old LX 90 8" fork mount with GPS.

Graham.
