Connecting DSC's to PC to work with The Sky

Anyone out there running The Sky with their DSC's? I have been trying to get my PC to talk to my DSC's without success. It is a Mountian Instruments version of the Tangent Systems DSC's. So it is Identical to a sky wizard 3 or Lumicon Sky Vector or the NGC Max. Using the wiring diagram provided on the Orion Sky Wizard 3 PDF and on Software Bisque's web page it seems that everything should be ok. But no such luck. The PC works with a serial mouse so the PC side is good. I went as far as to map out the connections with my continuity tester and have per the diagram: ground to ground, and th Tx on the DSC's connected to the Rx on the PC side. (Vice versa for the Rx/Tx.) Any thoughts? Is there any specific mode the DSC's must be in? And yes, There is a brand new fresh battery in the DSC's.

Any help would be appeciated!
