I'v got a Onieda cyclone dust collection system which works great.
I've plumbed the entire shop and use blast gates and a remote control
to turn on and off the cyclone. However, I've never been satisfied
with getting the dust from my contractors saw with the open back and
the motor sticking out beyond the table and it having to rotate for
bevel cuts.

Anybody have a suggestion? (And,no, I don't want to buy a new saw)

Make a back plate from either plastic sheet or 1/4" plywood or even
carboard. I use rare earth magnets to hold mine in place. Yes, it does
have to be removed to tilt the saw, but I don't tilt it very often so it is
not a big deal for me. Takes seconds to remove it.
