    Will DC8 work with Apex unit

    Yes, you can connect legacy peripherals to the Apex and Apex Lite (but not Apex Jr)

    Page 77 of the Apex Comprehensive Reference Manual tells you how to use a DC8 with an Apex.

    I found the section in the manual for this but how is the physical connection made? Is there an "control bus" to "Aquabus" cable one needs to make?

    Legacy peripherals do not use Aquabus. You use the jack on the Apex Classic or Apex Lite labeled “Control” using a 4-wire modular telephone cable.
