I'm afraid it doesn't since it has no TTL connector
on the control panel, where usually the HC is connected.
Here you have the TTL signals available that through
the EQDIRECT module will translate into RS232 and to
the PC.
Likely the stepper motors also are of different type
then the synscan.
I hope others with more knowledge will chime in
and help you through!

Nope - that is an original Atlas. EQMOD needs the Skyscan/Synscan internals in order to work.

Not yet. I'm working on a generic EQMOD interface board that will allow any mount with stepper motors to work with EQMOD. It's still many months out, but will come around eventually.
