Notes: ■ The signals on pins 5, 6, 8, and 22 are represented at port
n+6 (where n is the base port; e.g., at port 3feH on COM1).
See Serial Ports.
■ A serial port cable for normal data transfer with the DOS
InterLink utility uses only three wires. For remote copy
operations, you need a 7-wire null-modem cable. See
InterLink Cables.
