I liberated mine from a previous workplace :-) For those wondering what
the hell we're going on about here, certain Sparc models (such as the
SparcStation 4 and 5) had a single serial 25 pin port that actually
supported two ports via a Y-splitter cable. I *think* that if you use
a minimally wired serial cable (from memory, 2, 3, 7 & 20 -- TX, RX,
GND and DTR), then it should work as a single port without the splitter
cable.
