Does anyone have the pinout for the db25 console

the 25-pin bulkhead connector marked "Console" is a serial console port?
Well, with some help from Emanuel and an old post by Douglas Gwyn, I
figured out that the 11/93's console is a "standard" RS232 serial port.
The bulkhead DIP switches were set such that the console port was
disabled, which threw me for a while, and one of my DB25-MMJ adapters
has died, which threw me off for a _long_ while, but I finally got a
boot monitor, and then brought up the OS. RSX-11M+
Drat. I was hoping for Windows 2000.
Damn thing didn't come with ethernet, either.
Also, I understand that a M8981-AA is a 2M board
and a -BA is a 4M > board. How do I find out which?
Boot monitor says 4M, but I had already figured that out from the
little barcode sticker on the BA23. It says "*11Z93-BA*"
So will this guy boot from Tim Shoppa's RT-11 CD?
Doc, who is thrilled beyond belief
