DB-25 DB-19 1 - no pin 2 1 3 18 4 2 5 15 6 19 7 6 8 9 9 3* 10 4* 11 17 12 10 13- No pin 14 4* 15 11 16 12 17 13 18 14 19 7 20 8 21 3* 22- No pin 23 5 24 16 25- No pin I've highlighted several connections because they are double connection points. Alternatively, you could jumper 10 and 14 together on the DB-25 and run one wire to pin #4 on the DB-19. Do the same with the wires that go to #3. If you would rather have me make the cable, send E-mail.
