Pins 1 and 6 are jumpered inside each connector to deliver the DTR signal to DCD. Pin 4 can connect to either 6 or 1 at the opposite end. The ring indicator is not necessary but can be connected for mechanical integrity. Not counting the cable shield, only 7 conductors are needed in the cable.

Connections for DCD and for RI, pins 1 and 9, can be absent in commercial null modem cables.

Intermec Serial cable 321-584-001

The Hirose connector is HRS CL235-0003-9-50, Product number 3530A-16P-CV (50) or CL235-0004-1-50, Product number 3540-16P-CV (50). NC = No Connection.

Capacitor Plague

Wikipedia article

This problem has decommissioned at least two machines here.

An IBM NetVista Type 6578 desktop computers built in 2000 or 2001. One running as a workstation and began to reboot spontaneously. The second would not pass the POST. In each machine 13 capacitors were replaced; 4 of 1500 microF and 9 of 1200 microF. Subsequently the first machine has been operating with no problem. The second stops booting and displays "186 Security hardware control logic error." According to an IBM Web page, the solution is to replace the system board.

The second machine afflicted with capacitor plague is an HP C9880A scanner. The PCB was washed with distilled water and then with ethanol. With a new capacitor the machine still does not power up.

Top of the main PCB.
The top of the 1000 microF capacitor adjacent to the XPA connector at the upper right of the picture is bulged. White residue from the electrolyte is on the plastic housing at the lower left.


Bottom side of the main PCB.
Residue from the electrolyte is also on the bottom of main PCB at the upper left.


JVC Remote Control Cable to connect Digital Camera KY-F70 to the controlling computer.

In RS-232 terminology, the computer is the data terminal and the camera is the data set. If pins 4 and 6 in the DE-9F connector are jumpered together, only four conductors, including the ground, are required. The topology below accomplishes the same with 5 conductors. The computer end has a DE-9F connector typical of a serial cable. The camera end has a Hirose HR10A-10P-10P(73), Digikey part number HR1633-ND. VIewing the pins from the back of the connector where they are soldered, they are numbered 1 through 8 clockwise around a circle beginning at 1:00 o'clock. Pins 9 and 10 are in the center, 9 to the right and 10 to the left. JVC appears to have invented their own synonyms for the RS-232 signals in parentheses on the right. RS-SDO is the JVC name for TxD for example.

Cable for Dage MTI CCD 72 Digital Camera

This has a Hirose HR10A-12P-10P(73) on one end and a HR10A-12J-10S(73) on the other end. Pin numbering on the 12P connector is similar to that on the 10P.

UNIQUE UN-450 ISA Game/Serial/Parallel expansion card

V0003  011005  PCB Made in Taiwan.  Assembled in China.
Cf. Unique UN-1061 Floppy/IDE/Game/Serial/Parallel expansion card.
Configuration is by 7 columns of 3 pins. 
Each triple of pins can have one jumper across the  
upper and center pins or across the center and  
lower pins or across no pins.  This is what I've found  
with the ohmeter and with use in a PC.
Pin 1 connects to IRQ line 7. Pin 3 connects to IRQ line 5. For use by the parallel port?
Printer port base addresses reported by BIOS. Pins 4 & 5 closed <=> parallel port base address = 378. Pins 5 & 6 closed <=> parallel port base address = 278.
Pins 7 and 10 connect to IRQ line 3. Pins 9 and 12 connect to IRQ line 4. The corresonding jumpers must connect these IRQ lines to the serial port circuitry. Obviously both serial ports should not use the same IRQ; ie. one jumper should be up, the other down.
Pins 13 & 14 closed <=> serial port? Pins 14 & 15 closed <=> serial port 2 disabled.
Pins 16 & 17 closed <=> serial port 1 base address 3F8. Pins 17 & 18 closed <=> serial port 1 base address 3E8.
Pins 19 & 20 closed <=> serial port 2 base address 2F8. Pins 20 & 21 closed <=> serial port 2 base address 2E8.
