Should I grab the iron and change pin 1 to 7?
I suggest you find out what's wrong and fix it the way it's supposed
to be..
That'd require schematics ;)
Depending on config of the system chasseie ground and signal ground
might be isolated.
The only ground connected is shield ground. ;)
If there is a "klinik" (another DB25 port, or if it has DB25's for
user terminals (check if there is a board connected on the able)
measure from pin 7 to pin 7 in another connector.
Pin 7 is NCL on all the serial breakouts I have.
My guess is that someone has "fried" the console ground wire with
current, and you should be lucky more stuff is not dead. -:)
Possible ;)
