nice! I found a picture of the db9 and wired the I/O board to VFD like it shows and now I have the plug in working. now I just have to get my settings right I think.
this is with mach 3 turn and a Huanyang VFD. plug in below....
http://royaumedeole.fr/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/vfdPlugin1.5.1.zip#2 is the rs- and the #3 is the rs+ on the vfd. this is with the cables plugged in just like the pics above. they are NOT 1 way only plugs.
