Data I/O 29A Unipak Issues,(Promlink)

After a year of messing around with this thing off and on I finally got it
working. I had to revert to Promlink version 2.4 and Windows 98 to get it
running. Seems the later versions don't have the Unipak option. They only
have Unipak 2B which is different. I also made a custom cable for it.

So others wont have to go through the pain I did, here's the pin connections
for making a cable:

DB9 (PC) DB25 (29A)
    2 2
    3 3
    8 4
    7 5
    5 7

I was able to use the default port settings to get things to communicate.
