.....I used to have a IDS-125 and worked on a friends Paper Tiger (in the
long dark past). I can't find my notes on them from back then, but I
remember that both serial and parallel is in the connector AS WELL AS
some power direct from the power supply. This last cost me an interface
one time because I used a ribbon cable with all 25 wires in it. Mail me
if you don't find out anything on the Switch's, etc. and I will try to
dig out the old notes.
