Tagarno microscope 9 way DSUB controller pinout

(1/1)

bobof:
Just picked up a total bargain Tagarno IBIS HD on eBay - which appears to basically be the same as the ZIP minus the OSD.  It has some special function colour palettes  for contrast enhancement / inversion to aid visual impaired folks - it was sold as a visual aid originally.  It's fitted with the same No.4 lens and has the same ~250mm working distance.  Looks like it will be a great addition to the lab for what I paid for it (£130!!!).

It didn't come with the controller (was apparently optional at the time, according to the manual).  Been quoted a ridiculous £450 for it as a replacement part.  OK, so it's using a MEC Navimec switch set, but unless the thing is gold plated, it ain't worth that!   How complicated can 5 buttons attached to a DSUB be, right?

Has anyone either found a pinout or torn down / reverse engineered one of these controllers for doing some custom control etc?  There are 5 buttons on the factory controller, but actually on this model for my application only the zoom +/- are useful (maybe adding a 3rd button to press them both simultaneously and switch to manual focus mode).  I'd love to add remote zoom / focus control to it.
