Napco GEM-RS232 doc

Does anyone have a copy of the tech manual for the Napco Gemini RS232? I've got the install doc (2 pages about plug this into that) but I'm looking for the other doc that comes with it. As seen on

it's called the "Communications Protocol" document or the "GEM Developer" guide. (But unfortunately, the link to the doc on basshome.com is broken and I checked with Robert and he doesn't have a copy of the file any more.)

Alternatively, if anyone has custom software that they wouldn't mind sharing the source of, I could reverse engineer the information contained in the guide from your code.

Thanks for any help!!

What I have is nap_gem-developer.pdf which is the 14-page "Napco GEMINI Home Automation Development Specification" and is dated 10/98.

It states that "It is intended to allow third party developers to write their own code in the language of their choice (Basic, C++, 8051, etc.) to run on the platform of their choice (PC, MAC, proprietary black box, etc.) to both monitor and alter the operation of the control panel." It makes no statement about limiting the (re)distribution, and bears no copyright statement.
