Yepp.
Size and Pinning are identical betweenthe two modules. It is almost that I suspectthat it could be a case of de-facto standardwould it not have been for the serial dataformat.

One unit uses "Odd", the other "None" as parity.

Only the 1PPS gets through.
I have found used original Trimble boardson eBay.
I will study the RAPCO manual to seeif there is a possibility to change the communicationparameters to and from the GPS-module.

Saving this for a rainy day.
Once again - Thanks for all info!
