I accidently didn't send the previous messages over the mailing list...

I opened the spare sync cable that I have, and it seems like it's not
so hard to solder on these pins. But which pin is which number? There
are at least two rows of pins here, so which ones are 6 to 13? If I
connect them all (so not only GND, TXD and RXD), would that be better
than just connecting these 3? Cause that's all that's needed to get
serial output with the kernel, right?
Oh, and maybe the pins are already connected? Than I could just cut
open the cable and do it without soldering :-)

Greetz,
