Apparently there is a "connector built into both the Orion II and the OMNI VII. I did not hear anyone indicate it would be available in the Orion.

At the end of the presentation, I specifically asked Gary about the
Orion 565 and he replied that the real time add on would NOT be
compatible. He said that there is additional circuitry built into the
Orion II and OmniVII  to accomodate the bandscope accessory that isn't
in the 565. A significant enough difference that he did not expect the
565 could be easily modified.
