Orion SSAG use with Celestron Ultima mount

Has anyone in the group had any success with an Orion SSAG on a Celestron ultima fork mount? I have tried pluging the autoguider output directly into the hand controller jack (which previously worked with my old ST4), and have connected via a Shoestring adaptor soldered to the handcontroler. In both cases commands to move in RA (either via manual movement or calibration and guiding) result in activation of the Dec motors, and commands to move in Dec result in either activation of the Dec motors, or no action. I tried the autoguider on my G11 (pre gemini) and it worked flawlessly, so I believe the autoguider is not defective.

Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated.
