Hi Graeme,
You might be right. I just tried it from command terminal in the ASCOM driver, and this is what I get after a cold start:

The log seems to show that Gemini thinks it's aligned. Status 1 was returned by <99: command.?
But certainly at least one sync/align is needed before doing any sort of testing from a Cold start.

I think this is a Gemini bug.??

I just cold started (power cycle and choice?at restart) our G2 which running a slightly later Gemini version (with runaway slew, and RA=0 sync bug fixes) and it also returned "1" to that command before I'd even commanded a slew. So my firm belief here is that no Initial Alignment has taken place, and therefore the Gemini 2 in question is not flipping for that reason.?

Here's the python commands I use to do the direct interface via the ASCOM driver (I ran a few to check they were sensible - I would fully expect <205: and <206: (RA/DEC Index Errors) to return zero from a cold start).??
