Further information on this after speaking with a few.
Two more mounts are scheduled from ASA.
ASA DDM60 (lightweight direct drive mount) - 25kg capacity - Est. EUR 7,500
ASA DDM150 (observatory class) - 150kg capacity - Est. EUR 24,000

Both mounts are expected to be available second quarter 2009.

I don't think the pics I took show the in mount cabling, but there DEC housing has three USB ports and one large din power. Details probably on the website. Also the picture shows the DDM85 - 65kg capacity. Don't have the pricing for this one - sorry.
