I've built one and it works.
It's a straight through.

I remember postings on there being some tight tollerances on it though, apparently it's relativly high speed for the time.
People recommended 3 meters as apparently thats the only length the cable came in, I doubt it's that picky but I would suggest you 
use good screened cable and make sure you do a good job if you make it yourself. 
I connected all wires.

Good luck,
