ie. DB 1-2-3-4-5
9-8-7-6
connects pin 1 to the first ribbon cable wire, pin 9 to the 2nd, pin 2 to
the 3rd, pin 8 to the 4th, and so on.
and the 9-pin PC serial port is a standard, so we can map it properly on the
pcb. (I can supply this later)
As far as the USB goes.
Patrick's post:

said he used the following cable:
http://www.pactech-inc.com/allhtmlpage/usb_html/USB%20CABLES%20&%20ADAPTERS_files/PC-USB-FF.jpg
This cable appears to have the following SIP pinout:
1- Red - USBPWR detect
2- White - USB(-)
3- Green - USB(+)
4- Black - gnd
5- Black - gnd
Is this standard, no idea, but the one I bought from Fry's for an old
computer was also like this one and it plugged straight in. Anyone know?
