If all else fails, I can take a voltmeter to my cable and make you a pinout table. Let me
know.

I'm in the process of trying to resurrect a MicroVAX-II system.
I have a RRD50 cd reader and the associated KRQ50 controller. What I'm
missing is the cable between the cabinet kit and the drive.
I've tried various incantations, including a AUI cable (DA15 to DA15)
and what I think is a straight-through cable. I also hooked the cabinet
kit DA15M direct to the drive with no success.
In most cases the drive spins up but when I try to boot it, the red
error LED on the drive blinks then it spins down.
So, I've got to build a cable. Does anyone have documentation of the
pinout of what I need to build?
Thanks,
-Rick
