(ooops,I got the number of pins wrong), I've received 6 replies, most containing
the diagrams and pin assignments, but also some other useful info. I think that
I also detected a mild reproach for not checking the sun.hardware.FAQ - sorry
(blush). Here's the pinout :
pinout of db-8 connector on IPC to connect to DB-25 modem:
Din-8 DB-25 Circuit Signal Direction Description
1 20 CD DTR output Data Terminal Ready
2 5 CB CTS input Clear to Send
3 2 BA TxD output Transmit Data
4 7 AB GND - Ground
5 3 BB RxD input Receive Data
6 4 CA RTS output Request to Send
7 8 CF DCD input Data Carrier Detect
8 17 DD RTxC input Receive Clock
The pins on the Din-8 connector look like:
---------
' === `
' `
' | 6 | 7 | 8 `
| ___ ___ ___ |
| 3 4 5 |
` ___ ___ '
` 1 2 '
` '
---------
The Sun part number for the adapter cable is 530-1816-01, however one reply
recommends using an old MacIntosh serial cable :)).
