Anyone heard of this controller?

I was wondering if anyone knows anything about a NORTH COAST Automation controller P420? I've purchased one from an auction and can't seem to find any information on it. Any info would help greatly.

Often an automation controller refers to a PLC, That number seems familiar, what does it claim to be? Motion controllers etc? Do you have a Pic?

A lot of the companies with North Coast in it comes up as Australian, maybe one of the Aussies may recognize the name.

PS I found a North Coast Automation Inc Highland Heights Ohio. existed at least untill the early 1990's , don't know if they are still in business.

Yes, I'm very familiar with it. I designed several machine tools in the late 70's using this control.

Would you happen to have the pinouts to communicate between the 25 pin remote port and a 9 pin PC serial port?

Thanks.
