It is a straight-through cable. Rather than _make_ the cable, you can
probably score a DEC cable of an appropriate length that's shielded
and more durable than a standard ribbon cable. DEC used lots of
40-pin cables over 2m in length; they shouldn't be hard to find from a
DEC reseller. If I had a better net connection, I'd give you some
sample part numbers to search on, but they'll be something like a
BC08-10.
Good luck,
