See the following:
schematic, pcb, and components to build a cable

Directions:
  • Solder all components to pcb per the render pics.
  • Pull the two un-soldered pins from the top of the socket and discard.
  • Cut the 9-pin plug off the serial cable. Strip the outer sheath back 1 to 2 inches. Strip each wire 1/8".
  • Put 2 to 3 inches of 1/2" diameter heat shrink on the serial cable. (don't shrink yet)
  • Identify which color wires go to which pins on the DB25 plug.
Find pin 2 on the db25
Find which color wire goes to pin 2 using a DMM continuity tester
Repeat for all the numbered holes on the PCB: 2,3,4,5,6,7,20
Cut any left-over wires short right at the cable sheath.
  • Solder the wires to their matching numbered holes, with the wires on the top side (without the transistors).
  • Put some hot-glue on the top side of the pcb in the "dog bone", press the end of the cable into the glue, and secure to the pcb with a zip-tie.
  • Add some hot-glue around the soldered wires where they meet the pcb to immobilize them.
  • Slide the heat-shrink up over the pcb and shrink.
