Yes, it is identical.   I was the original beta tester on the
SCDC and used it extensively.   In fact, the designers called

You may need a null modem.  Try swapping pins 2 and 3.

I can send you an genuine Andromeda DB25 adapter if you give
me a mailing address and promise to send me $10.  :-)

They changed between the original Rev. A and final Rev. F
boards.  Which one do you have?

I can send you a copy of the manual, complete with all my
editorial comments written on it.
