Does anyone know if the Meade 201XT autoguider will work with an LX-10 with Dec motor?

Ken,

As I recall from having owned one there is no port on an LX-10 to connect in the 201xt. Not sure if this is true for the LX-50 though. Also not sure if there is an aftermarket box which can be used(doubtful). The LX10 is a pretty basic unit essentially made to manually guide using the controller, but I suppose it would be possible to send signals to the scope by creating a serial cable interface via the normal 4 button paddle and have a laptop act as interpreter. But for the cost it probably is easier to buy a used scope more capable than the LX-10.
