MicroVAX 3100 MUX cable?

With my CXY08-M [M3119-YA] (in a VAX4000/500) I luckily recieved the cables
that went with it. They are BC19N-12s ("centronics-style" 50-pin male to 4
DB-25 male). I could buzz them out for a pinout if you'd like, but these are
apparently the wrong cables for yours as each has only 4 ports instead of 8.
I suspect the difference (being lazy -- not looking up specs) is that the
CXY08 has modem control.

Sincerely,
Chris Craft, RetroComputing Nut.
