NGC Max / Advanced aStro Master

Does anyone have experience with these older computers? I have both but not two encoders that work on both.

With the Advanced Astro Master both encoders (call them encoder new and encoder old) will work in the alt position - therefore I suspect the pin outs I have for the AZ are incorrect.

This older AAM has pinouts on the left side - and takes an odd 10 pin plug - not the RJ5 plug the Max takes.

With the NGC Max - only encoder old will work - but it works in both AZ and ALT. The NGC seems to recognize encoder new as when it is turned encoder error message immediately comes up but it does show a change in digital read out.

Thanks for any insight or help you can provide,

Dan
