I know that's possible. I do actually have an old DEC MMC to MMC cable
here; one plan was to cut it into two and solder D9s onto the ends,
but some DEC collectors I know are horrified at the thought of
destroying an original DEC cable.
However, I don't really want a serial console. I want to get my
graphical display up and running under DECwindows!

Ah, then you need to go find a 6 conductor telephone
cable, and file off that clip. It'll fit and work in
an MMJ socket, it just won't stay in too well. Hold it
in place with some tape... If you are in the UK then Black Box stock MMJ
cables.
Setting aside the notion of /buying/ new parts to
build a cable, which
is dangerously close to crazy talk around here...
I think we need to keep in mind the purchase price
of the machine,
here, folks. I'm not going to spend ?20 or ?30 on
getting or making a
cable for a 99p computer!
