Here is information and hooking up a Meade 201XT
or ST-237 to the SkySensor 2000.
This is reprinted from Arne
Danielsen's home page and is located at http://home.sol.no/~arnedani/astronomy/misc/201xttoss2k.htm,
I have made this cable but have not had the chance to test it as of
yet. I will post my results as soon as they are available.
This cable should work with any Camera that supports the LX200/SBIG
interface.
In order to use the Meade 201XT Autoguider on a
SkySensor 2000 you need to make a special cable. Below you will find a
table describing the wiring.

To make this cable you will need
1 - Multiline Telco Cable (has RJ12 at both ends)
2 - 1 RJ12 connector
1 - RJ12 Crimper
Start by Snipping on end of the Telco cable off,
doesn't matter which.
Arrange the end you just clipped to match the SS2K pinout
above.
Using the RJ12 Crimper, Crimp the connector onto the cable.
