Doug,

As you noted, the X2 outputs are open-collector.  Logic "High" turns the
transistor on, which will result in a collector-to-ground voltage of a few
tenths of a volt.  Logic "Low" turns the transistor off, resulting in the
collector voltage rising to whatever the pull-up voltage is in the device
being driven.

When dealing with open-collector circuits, it may be less confusing to think
in terms of current levels instead of voltage levels -- Low = no current
flow, High = Max current flow.
