PICT's are available in the System Folder:Extensins:Apple Modem Tool
Use ResEdit to copy them.
From Apple TIL ( I lost the number)
The two serial ports used on Macintosh computers since the Macintosh
Plus are
RS-422 mini-circular 8 pin connectors:
Pin Signal
1 - HSKo (Data Terminal Ready)
2 - HSKi (Clear To Send)
3 - TxD- (Transmit Data -)
4 - GND (Ground)
5 - RxD- (Receive Data -)
6 - TxD+ (Transmit Data +)
7 - GPi (General-Purpose input); connected to SCC Data Carrier
Detect (or to Receive/Transmit Clock if the VIA1 SYNC signal
is high). Not connected on the Macintosh Plus, Classic,
Classic II, LC, LC II, or IIsi.
8 - RxD+ (Receive Data +) The space is between pin 4 and 5
The following are the GeoPort Telecom Adapter Mini-DIN 9 pin assignments:
(where they differ from Mini-DIN 8 pin )
Standard GeoPort DMA GeoPort Non-DMA
Definition Definition Definition
1 HSK(0) POD RESET/ATT POD RESET/ATT
7 GPi(A) WAKEUP/TxHS Unused
9 +5 VDC DC Power DC Power

What are the pinouts for the mini circular 8 serial ports on the
Macintosh
Plus and later?

Looking at the end of a MALE mini-circular connector, the pins are:
6 7 8 6 7 8
3 4 5 The space is 3 4 9 5
1 2 between pin 4 and 5 1 2
