The hand control port on the mount is a 6 pin RJ-12, where the one on the AZ-EQ6 is a 8 pin RJ-45 going by the book.
The idea was to connect straight into the 6 pin RJ-12 and to the pc.
Will keep searching for some information, but i guess the biggest thing is the way the two mounts are setup, AZ-EQ6 pointing directly at the scp, where the goto mount are setup facing south but tube sitting level.
Will be an interesting project if i can get it all to work.

I definitely have seen guys on YouTube clips control their dobs from a laptop ( Rasberry Pi controller)
Yes EQ movement uses declination ( Dec) and right ascension ( Ra ) to track
Ax uses azimuthaland altitude co ordinates to track
Totally different
Also PHD2 uses Dec and Ra movement to keep the mounts axis locked onto the guide Star
