Are you're meaning the 13pin ACC connector? 

I have a 706IIg and thought about using the ACC connector, but opted for
the smaller DIN plug based on availability of connctors with pre-wired
cables from used PC junque (mice, keyboards, etc). 

The soundcard interface I built also uses modem transformers gacked off of
old PC modems - which I found for less than a $1/ea at a ham fest - cheaper
than radio hack!
