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.

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?
