Tony,
Did you have to connect the giant video/data cable to do this, or did you find a more palatable way to do the wiring? I am interested in connecting my Simrad RS25 VHF to the Zeus for DSC. Thanks!

For those interested, it works! The Zeus can take a 0183 input and NMEA 2000. The system interfaces both using the 0183 port directly without any conversion from the 0183 v.1.5 of the 390 and allows readings of AWS, AWD, TWS, TWD, BS, Heading and Log to come thru even though the Zeus is 0183 v. 4.0 . Also tried the NMEA 2000 route with an Actisense NGW-1 gateway and it works. Depth seems to be a problem since the Zeus has an internal ecosounder and I can't figure how to get the 390 depth reading yet. I have also taken the GPS/NAV data from the Zeus thru a NGW-1 gateway which converts 2000 to 0183 and sent it to the 390 input to get cross track, VMG, etc. info from the 390. My Raymarine autopilot also works either off the 390's output or directly from the Zeus NMEA 2000 buss.
