One of the few machiens to make this easy was the Tatung Einstein. It
used a quincuncial 5 pin DIN plug, like the BBC micro, for the RS232
port. Unlike the Beeb, it was wired sensibly. If you plug it in upside
odwn it swaps TxD with RxD and RTS with CTS. Just what you want.
Which DIN connector was that?

"Normal" round DIN connectors (plugs) have a notch to make them only
to connect one way.
Did the female connector on the Tatung Einstein have two "grooves"?
