SUMMARY: T3 interconnect cable pinouts + CM 2.2

i have received no answer for my question regarding the pinouts of the 
T3 disk tray interconnect cable.
i did a further search on the net and found this information:
  - the connector is called DE9 not DB9
  - the pinouts of a standard DE9 FC cable are:

  1___________5
   \o o o o o/
    \o_o_o_o/
   6         9

short
-----
Pin
1: +fc_out
5: +fc_in
6: -fc_out
9: -fc_in

full
----
Pin  	Signal  	Direction
1 	TX+ 		Output
2 	VCC 		VCC
3 	Fault - 	Input
4 	Key 		NC
5 	RX+ 		Input
6 	TX- 		Output
7 	ODIS + 		Output
8 	GND 		GND
9 	RX- 		Input


i could not find any other information so i guess the DE9 to DE9 FC 
cable will look like this[*]

DE9(male)			DE9(male)
--------------------------------------
pin 1: +fc_out		pin 5: +fc_in
pin 5: +fc_in		pin 1: +fc_out
pin 6: -fc_out		pin 9: -fc_in
pin 9: -fc_in		pin 6: -fc_out

[*] NOTE: THIS IS NOT TESTED. i am not sure if a cable built this way 
will function properly. it is possible that you DAMAGE your expensive 
equipment so please test it on your own risk.


thanks to Charles Giannetto for his answer regarding Component Manager

quite some time ago.  It's replacement is Sun Storage Automated 
Diagnostic Environment (SUNWstade), which should be available on the Sun 
web site."
