  4. Probably not, the EQDir cable is more than a RJ45 to RS232 cable. From the EQ-Mod website: "In order to connect a PC/Laptop directly to the EQ mount a PROPRIETATRY interface device is required. This device is referred to as an EQDIRCT and is designed solely for use with Skywatcher mount. Standard "off the shelf" Connection must be made through such a device NEVER CONNECT DIRECLY YOUR PC DIRECTLY TO THE MOUNT. Please take utmost caution if using "off the shelf" serial/RS232 cables, the connectors on the mount, despite being familiar types are not standard RS232 or ethernet connections."

  16. Yes. The distance between the primary and secondary is now shorter, so the secondary has to be larger to accommodate the light cone. Not on its own, the distance between the secondary and primary will need to be reduced to benefit. See above.
