Since I had my Z310+ all apart (bi-monthly cleaning), I decided to take some pictures of the pogo card.

With that many contacts, I recon it is a serial comunication going to the head, just like the CN642A. Wasn't the printhead in a Zcorp no longer in production at HP and is it only being made for Z-corp, or do you have a machine with newer heads.

Yes, the HP10 is, sadly, out of production.
ALL HAIL LORD E-BAY!
Anyhow, the interface to the fast-axis controller (mounted on the slow axis arm) is indeed a serial interface, as the 'SPI' debug pinouts in the below image would indicate.
The 'pogo' card is simplicity itself - direct wiring to the pogo pins from the ribbon connector, and some capacitors.
