Here is the pinout for the connector (from the owner's guide):
1 ground 14 SIO2_RTS
2 SIO1_TXD 15 SIO2_CTS
3 SIO1_RXD 16 SIO2_DCD
4 SIO1_RTS 17 spare
5 SIO1_CTS 18 SIO2_DTR
6 SIO1_DSR 19 SIO3_DTR
7 inline resistor 20 SIO1_DTR
8 SIO1_DCD 21 SIO3_TXD
9 SIO3_RXD 22 SIO1_RI
10 SIO3_CTS 23 SIO3_RTS
11 spare 24 spare
12 SIO2_TXD 25 SIO3_DCD
13 SIO2_RXD
It says all three run up to 19.2k baud. This is a Domain/OS version of the
owner's guide so I guess all three were available there as well.
I think two of the port were implemented on an IO ASIC. I'll see if I can
find where they live in IO space...
