Controlling RCX400 from TheSky

The RCX400 driver provided with TheSky (my copy is TheSky6 professional) does not work properly with the RCX400. It reports connection errors, or causes the hand controller to indicate "downloading...". I have seen this problem reported on other forums. The LX200 driver works fine on the RCX400.
A related problem I have seen reported less frequently is that the RCX400 occasionally reports an incorrect position. This seems to be the result of some sort of serial buffer overflow. The problem is particularly annoying if the position reports are used to control rotation of an observatory dome. I have not seen any report of a workaround for this, other than manual override of the dome position.
