[comp.sys.amiga.hardware] Wierd Cable

 I am trying to make a wierd cable and need some help as I have never done 
this before, let alone blindly. I need to make a cable to go from my Amiga 
500 to my HP48sx calculator. HP makes one, but the only way to get it in 
Columbus is for around $60 with some IBM software that I couldn't use. Its 
a basic serial connection except the HP only has four pins and I have no 
idea on which is which. Does anyone know which pins from the Amy need to 
be hooked up? On the HP, to test the wire port, pins 2 and 3 are shorted 
and a button is pressed. I would assume that these are the data 
send/recieve pins and it just checks if it gets what it recieves. Does 
this sound correct.
   Thanks for any help
