Matt Hefron's wirelist for the triple serial cable coincides with the info I got from a local apollo tech. He added, however, that pin 11 in the combined port (whose RS232 function I cannot recall) can be connected to pin 11 of the first pigtail to provide its signal to the occasional device that may use it. That is: Tail Pin 11 ----> Pig 1 Pin 11 It probably doesn't matter for 99.99% of all devices, but hey, it's the information age, and I wanna do my part.

Pin 11 isn't used by rs232. The only device I can think of right now that
uses it is the obsolete Bell 208A 4800 bps modem. It indicates that the
modem is in "equalizer mode."
