The LPKF 91 Serial Cable

When we were out at LPKF in Wilsonville, we were able to map a LPKF serial cable using a multimeter. The 25 pin to 25 pin serial cable used a standard 25 pin to 9 pin converter. Here's the pin out of the 25 pin cable:

  Male 25 pin (to LPKF)                          Female 25pin to PC's COM
   1 RED + ORG soldered to sheild                  1 RED + ORG soldered to sheild
   2 PRP                                           2 BLU
   3 BLU                                           3 PRP
   4 WHT (jumpers to 20)                           5 shorted to 6
   5 Shorted to 6                        ----      6 YLW + shorted to 5
   6 GRN + Shorted to 5                            7 BLK
   7 BLK                                          20 GRN
  20 YWL + WHT (jumpers to 4)

We made our own 25 pin (M) to 9 pin serial cable (F) using Horiwitz and Hill. Here's the pin out:
