Hi,
   I'm in the process of making a Mini-DIN serial cable for an IPC/IPX 
and went slightly "spare" soldering the wires on the back of the plug, 
but I noticed one company that sold pre-made cables and thoughtfully 
also have a cable which has just the Mini-DIN connected and the other 
end just tails so you can wire it up as you like.... D shell connectors 
being much easier to work with ;-)
