IIgs                    PC
1                       5
2                       4
3                       3
4                       7
5                       2
8                       7  (ground)

A IIgs serial port pinout looks like this, looking at the back of the
computer:

8 7 6
5 4 3
 2 1

(this is a simple hardware handshaking cable)
