Good idea, I will post a copy on groups.io.

Page 1-3 of the manual for the 98622A GPIO lists the switch setting for the GPIO and it looks like the the cable would be a straight through cable with the appropriate connectors on each end. The simplest way to make a cable would be to get IDC connectors and crimp them onto a 50 conductor ribbon cable. I don't have a IDC connector on hand so I am working up an adapter for the usual cables I use on my GPIOs.

You may want to post your questions about 9000s on the VintHPcom group on groups.io I believe you will reach a larger audience of HP 9000 user there than you will here.

I just wanted to insert a link to the source where I bought the cable ( one of two available), but strangely the offer has been canceled. Maybe anyone who read my post ordered the second cable meanwhile? Would be nice to hear from him and his experiences with the cable and the 9885.
