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.

They built our cable and I believe kept the proper schematic on file. We tried a few of the schematics floating around and found the one that works. If Worswick doesn't have it on file, have them call me and I'll locate which one was used. You might also want to try contacting Opcode. They requested the schematic from us and showed some interest in either stocking the cable or shipping it with new units. By the way, the cable also works with a MOTU MIDI Time Piece II.
