It would seem that the hunt for 1PPS will need to be attempted by someone
with two units coupled together.
I don't know if there's some sort of handshake enablement but with just the
Ref-1 unit I've not been able so far to find 1PPS on the Interface
connector, either during the boot up sequence or when up and running.
The 1PPS on pin 6 of the RS422/1PPS connector is very easy to spot so I
don't think it's just a case of me missing it on the interface.

Hi
I bet (again the order of fries) that the ground on pin 13 that crosses
to is some sort of “other box plugged in” indicator.
So:
The 15 pin cable is:
Pair End A End B
A 1 9
B 2 10
C 3 11 (short pin on 3)
D 4 12
E 5 13 (short pin on 13)
F 6 14
G 7 15
ground 8 8 (short pin on 8)
Pair B - CMOS signaling
Pair C - CMOS signaling
Pari D - one half of RS-422
Pair E - CMOS signal ? ground on pin 13
We have A, F, and G in the “to be discovered” category. One of those
should be the other half of D. Something in here should be a PPS.
