Here's a page describing those pieces:

Is that a PC card of some sort I see among the pictures? This didn't use a
serial port?

Yes and no. This is from the days when computers used cards for ports. The
connection is a 20 serial cable (RS-232). Here's a catalog description of the
interface card:

MS-DOS or Apple II Slot Card Pack - US$161.50 includes slot card, cable, LEGO TC
logo software and reference guides. (card is for most MS-DOS machines, except
IBM PS/2 Models 50 and above or any other microchannel computer)

HTH,
