With my CXY08-M [M3119-YA] (in a VAX4000/500) I luckily recieved the cables
that went with it. They are BC19N-12s ("centronics-style" 50-pin male to 4
DB-25 male). I could buzz them out for a pinout if you'd like, but these are
apparently the wrong cables for yours as each has only 4 ports instead of 8.
I suspect the difference (being lazy -- not looking up specs) is that the
CXY08 has modem control.

I've got an early MicroVAX 3100; one of the ones
that just reads
"MicroVAX 3100" across the front. On the back of the system there are
three MMJ serial ports identified as 1-3, there's an DB-25M port which
I'd imagine is serial port 0 (the console), and beneath that is a
36-pin Centronics style connector labelled 4-11 with the DEC serial
port pictograph beneath it. I'd gather this is for some sort of serial
port cable "octopus."
Does anyone have a spare one of these cables or a part number for
this cable? Thanks.
