Here are some shots of the back of the unit with the name plate and connectors. The DIN connector on the far left goes to a telephone audio coupler that stores in the lid of the case. The power cord is the old rounded-end Belden connector like used on HP test equipment (and I stole the power cord from my 606). The two other data connectors are standard D-Sub 15 and 25 pin, but I don't know their pinouts.
