G'day folks,

I posted this request earlier today...

>Sorry about this - but can anybody supply me with the pin-outs for the joint
>A/B serial port on the back of a SPARCstation 10? We bought the machine
>second hand and I'm certain the original cable was supplied but it seems
>to have gone missing in the meantime.

And, received (among others), this response:

>+ DB25 A/B serial ports on SPARCstation SLC, ELC, others?
>
> 1 unused 9 unused 17 A-RxC (receive clock)
> 2 A-TxD 10 unused 18 unused
> 3 A-RxD 11 unused 19 B-RTS
> 4 A-RTS 12 B-DCD 20 A-DTR
> 5 A-CTS 13 B-CTS 21 unused
> 6 A-DSR 14 B-TxD 22 unused
> 7 A&B-GND 15 A-TxC in (?) 23 unused
> 8 A-DCD 16 B-RxD 24 A-TxC out (transmit clock out)
> 25 unused
>
> Note that only port A has full modem control.

>+ DB25 A/B serial ports on SPARCstation LX, SPARCclassic, and
> SPARCstation 10, others?

> As for the SLC/ELC, but with additional signals for the B port:
