Anyone have a pinout for the "magic cable" listed below.

It's the console cable for an IBM AS/400. It's just a DB25M-DB25F, but
has some magic wiring to make it work as a console.
I have a 3477 Terminal that should suit, and there is a 2612 in the AS.
Have a VTxxx if it can speak ascii, but I STILL need the pinout.
(I refuse to buy one from IBM on general principles - even assuming it
didn't cost 2 arms and 2 legs, I might need a sys pwd and have wasted my
time and money, don't mind the time, but the money is another thing
entirely.)
Have several Twinax terms and cables as well, however the AS doesn't
have anything in it that speaks twinax.

Part Number 46G0450 or 46G0479
Feature Code 9026 or 9027

I'd really like to get this AS/400 to work, it seems to boot, so I'm
assuming it ain't gonna ask for
the system password crap. Can't tell until/if I get a console working
on it.

Can some kind soul (Eric?) talk me through the process? Off list if you
prefer.....

Cheers
