The interface is simple - just make a patch lead to use the mic socket for audio in and out ( the pinouts are on Ben's oz radio site) remembering to hook a loop wire between pins 7 & 5 to ensure that audio out is available without the mic inserted (this is usually done internally in the mic itself so you have to do it yourself).
