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.
