Does anybody have any familiarity with the original model AETA SCOOP REPORTER?

Does anybody have any familiarity with the original model AETA SCOOP REPORTER?
I’ve come across them numerous times in the last several years on ebay, and just recently snagged one fairly cheap, and I’m trying to acquire some information on it.
I put together a picture of the front and back: http://end80radio.com/scoop-reporter-front-back.jpg
Any one familiar with it, or by chance have any documentation for it?

I easily found the manual for the SCOOP REPORTER II, but not for this original model.

All I could find was a brief reference: “The product was officially announced at the AES 95 in Paris. Europe 1 acquired immediately some equipments and put them on the field early April 1995.” (http://www.aetausa.com/pages/Tech-Docs/Reports_Eupore1.html)

I can find no manual or other documentation for mine, however, in visually comparing my unit with drawings in the SCOOP REPORTER II manual – the front appears almost identical, as does the back with exception of 3 additions mine doesn’t have:

– A Ethernet jack? – labled “ISDN”
– A 9 pin jack – labeled “remote”
– and a 4 pin jack – labeled “DC in 12V=3A”

So how bout it? Can anyone shed any more light on my new old remote broadcast unit?
