Long before eqmod, you would use the unified celestron driver and connect that via the handset. The latest celestron driver has a drop down box to select which mount and synta skywatcher mount is still on the list.

I heard Steve Massey was beta testing the software against an eq6 so the handsets haven't changed if that is true.

I've just knocked up a 3.3v bluetooth adapter, we'll see if it goes when the mount arrives.
