Firstly, Awesome mod. I love it.

My query is to do with the text writeup which says that compact machines can handle AE2 cabling, what i want to know, is if i connect any AE2 cabling to the same face (I.e. both inside and outside are connected to the East for example) and i attach a terminal to the cable inside the CompactMachine, can i access the items in the AE system outside of the CompactMachine provided the chunks are loaded properly?

As far as I know, yes you can access drives located on the outside from the inside, and vice versa
