Hopefully it won't come to that. However, a simple test might
suffice. The first twisted pair connects to pins 1 and 9 on the DA15F
cab kit connector. (The other pairs are 2/10, 3/11, 4/12, and 5/13.)
Is pin 1 on the female end of your cable connected to pin 1 on the male
end?
Is pin 9 connected to pin 9?
If you can tell me where pin 1 goes and where pin 9 goes, I can very
likely reproduce a usable cable, assuming that the DEC controller side
mirrors the signal order on the drive side.
Knowing those 5 pairs is enough to guarantee a matching cable - the
rest of the pins don't matter.
