Epson Geneva PX-8 Portable Computer Serial RS/232 Cable

Thought it was worth posting this as there doesn't appear to be a reference for how to wire up a serial cable or RS/232 cable for the Epson PX-8 Mini DIN-8 to a PC DB9 female connector.

If the cable you're using contains a CG/E Common Ground wire you can connect this to the shell of the DB9. It's best to scratch the shell just above the connections then solder the wire directly onto the shell.
