The cable that came with my 11/34 is for current loop,
i need a cable that
is wired for serial. If no one has the cable, i could make one myself, i
just need the 40 pin connector that goes on the cable. I have been unable to
find the connector. Oddly ebay appears to have the side of the connector
that goes on the M7856 board itself, but i need the other end, that goes on
the wire.
The normal IDC ribbon cable socket, as was used on IDE disk drive cables
(40 pin) will fit. In an emergency, you can take a length of 3 wire ribbon
cable, separate the wires and press them onto the right pins of such a
socket, and use a spare piece of the same wire for the jumper (1489
output to UART input), agan pressed onto the right pins, Then press the
whole lot together in a vice. Did that for a DEC serial cable over 25
years ago
If you want to do it 'properly' then I think this is the right
connector housing :

Yes, 44 pin, there are 2 unused pins at each end. But 40 pin
ones are made too. And you would need contact pins, which
are linked from that page.
That's a UK supplier, I have no idea where you are, but you
might be able to track it down from the info on that page.
