roland modela mdx 15 serial cable

[breazr]

Does anybody have a schematic diagram for a RS 232 cable for a Roland Modela MDX 15 milling /scanning machine ?

The producer treats that cable as "optional" and their local representative doesn't wanted to be disturbed by such a "small" problem.

They have a diagram in the manual, but it is only for the 25-male pins end of the cable and they asssume one has to connect the 9-female pins end according to the RS 232 standard.

Before trying that, I hope that someone here has a reliable diagram for both ends of that cable.

Thank you in advance,

Radu

If it names the pin out designations as standard RS232 then it should be easy to convert over from 25p to 9 pin in order to make up a cable.
