General Discussions / GI Max decimal point with Pro Shift

Cristiano, here, you implied the GI Max doesn't have its decimal point connected to the microcontroller.
As both the GI Max display and Pro Shift are common cathode it should be possible to connect them, I'm hoping it's fairly straightforward. The way I see it is as follows:
Solder an output wire of the Pro Shift to pin 8 on the display(the datasheet I found states the upper middle pin is 8/Decimal Point, is this correct?), connect the cathodes of both Pro Shift and GI Max together, done.
If both devices use the same USB bus, is is still necessary to connect the cathodes together? If so, where can I solder onto the GI Max?
