[comp.sys.laptops] Parallel cable

Hi,

As the subject says, can anyone provide a description for the parallel
D25 -> Centronix pin layout. I could go out and buy one, but that's not the
point. I'm a DIY addict, and I *love* soldering.. :-) 
Thanks.

Here's the pins you have to connect to make the 9 to 25 null modem cable:

5 - 7 ground
3 - 3 receive data
2 - 2 transmit
7 - 5 clear to send
8 - 4 request to send
6 - 20 data term ready
4 - 6 data set ready

the rest is soldering ...
