Thanks to everyone who responded !

The pinout for the combination A/B serial ports on the 4/20 are:

        ========================================================

I received the following from my Sun Tech Rep after much ado... This

was faxed to me handwritten, so use with your own judgement. You

should concentrate on the first three columns, unless you are using the

splitter cable that they sell. If you are only using /dev/ttya you

should be able to disregard what they did with serial port B.

           CPU Peripheral-A Peripheral-B

Pin Signal Port Pin Signal Pin Signal

 2 TD A 2 TD

 3 RD A 3 RD

 4 RTS A 4 RTS

 5 CTS A 5 CTS

 6 DSR A 6 DSR

 7 GND A 7 GND

 8 DCD A 8 DCD

12 DCD B 8 DCD

13 CTS B 5 CTS

14 TD B 2 TD

15 TC A 15 TC

16 RD B 3 RD

17 RC A 17 RC

19 RTS B 4 RTS

20 DTR A 20 DTR

24 TCO A 24 TCO

        ==============================================================

Wire these pins straight through for the A port:

        SLC use A port

        1 protective ground 1

        2 TD (transmitted data) 2

        3 RD (received data) 3

        4 RTS 4

        5 CTS 5

        6 DSR 6

        7 signal ground 7

        8 DCD 8

        20 DTR 20

        22 RI 22

Wire these pins to the B port:

        SLC use B port

        1 protective ground 1

        7 signal ground 7

        13 secondary CTS 5

        14 secondary TD 2

        16 secondary RD 3

        19 secondary RTS 4

Note that pins 1 and 7 are common to both ports.
