It will take me some time to find it, but I seem to remember some kind of 
character table (or maybe the control codes it recognised) on that quick 
reference card, and it looked decidedly ASCII.

Again from waht I remember, there was no twinax connector or anything 
like that, just a DB25, which certainly looked to be RS232. I am pretty 
sure that was the host interface.

I will have to try to fig it out (it's small enough that I've forgotten 
where I put it... and check for you
