Yeah, It's an older model but she can still learn a few new tricks
I was going to do this mod to give it ST-4 capability >>>

And use this USB>RJ12 adapter because my laptop doesn't have a serial port.

I don't really need the extra features of the 'pro' and the mod only costs around $100 so at this stage I'd rather keep it simple.
Am I right in thinking that this setup will allow me to use the modded hand controller directly from PHD as an ST4 and EQMOD through ASCOM?
