                I have 'lifted' the ideogram sent to me by Bob Hoffman,
thanks ! Maybe this could make it to Celeste Stokleys
                   ' Zen and the art of serial cables page' somewhere on
www.stokely.com ???? Please note that  pins 4 and 3 are
                closer together. This is the same pin out as an apple
Mac, so Mac cables should work...........
