This isn't an hp3000 question but its semi-related

I finally acquired the 8-port mdp (or is it adp? so confusing) panel for the 
hp9000 g50 I've had for years.  So I thought I'd try to hook up a 928 console to 
see if this thing would do anything at all, or is it destined for scrap metal 
heap

I've got a card in the back of the 9000, with 78(?) pin port labeled "To 
DDP/ADP" or something like that, plus I have the cable, which splits into a 9pin 
female (goes into the mdp/adp panel) and the other end looks vaguely like 
centronics printer but I assume its for a DDP.

So I connect the 9pin female part of the cable to the MDP "full modem" panel, 
and voila, the power light burns green on the MDP panel.   


the question is...  what is the pinout for the cable that would connect between 
the port-0 25pin connector on the mdp and the 25pin data on the terminal? I 
don't have an "official" cable so I'll have to make one myself.

thanks
