Hi folks, I don't have the tools or skill to make this myself.
Neither does Altex Electronics.  They tried, according to the man zs
page pinout scheme which I paste below... but failed.

NeXT 68030 to NeXT 68040 Cable (Null-modem cable)
     NeXT 68040 to Some RS-422 Devices (Null-modem cable)

     Mini-Din        Mini-Din
     68030           68040
     1   (DTR)       2   (DCD)
     2   (DCD)       1   (DTR)
     3   (TXD-)      5   (RXD)
     4   (GND)       4   (GND)
     5   (RXD-)      3   (TXD)
     8   (RXD+)      4   (GND)
     4   (GND)       8   (CTS)

     NOTE: This cable is symmetric and either end may be plugged
     into either system; the 68030 and 68040 labels simply iden-
     tify the signal name conventions used for the particular
     column.  Also note: when interconnecting 68030 and 68040
     systems, the 68040 flow control device names should not be
     used since 68030 systems do not support flow control.  This
     cable will allow some RS-422 devices to be used with 68040
     systems; however, not all RS-422 devices will function
     correctly.

Is this the right pinout scheme?  My system is a NeXtstation Mono Turbo.

If anyone wants to put one of these together for me and make a few
dollars in the bargain, let me know.
