My GoTo 'scopes (Vixen & Takahashi) have an RJ12 and Mini-DIN connector on the telescope hand control unit. The RS232 connector is on my Notebook computer.
Therefore, for the Vixen, I have a cable thus:
Computer: RS232 9 Pin D connector <----> ‘Scope: RJ12 telephone type connector.
And, for the Takahashi, I have a cable thus:
Computer: RS232 9 Pin D connector <----> ‘Scope: Mini-DIN type connector.
Therefore, I would assume that the Meade has some kind of modular telephone style connector and not a DB-9 RS232 connector? This means you would require a cable thus:
Computer: RS232 9 Pin D connector <----> ETX ‘Scope: Meade specific Modular telephone type connector.
All the above assume that your computer has a native 9 Pin RS232 connector. Some modern ones do not have this and so you would require a USB to RS232 adapter and beware, not all telescopes like these adapters; some work, others do not.
