Hi,
Just got my pmdx 122 breakout boards, only to find that the cable connectors are female... so the male to male cables I bought are no good.
I have 2 25 pin to 36 pin printer cables, one of which is the type where you can disassemble the 25 pin end, and resolder the pins in whatever order you want.
For Mach I need 'straight through' cables, right? does that mean pin 1 to pin 1, right up to pin 25 to pin 25, and then 10 empty pins from 26 to 36 on the male end? My standard printer cable connects as per below; is this not suitable?

If I've got the pin order on either of the top diagrams wrong, please let me know, and I'll correct them and rewrite the pins table, so it makes sense...
