Look for some of the threads on serial port jailbreaking. I don't think any are directly your problem, but they will give you the general approach.

If this is a DX (or DXG), then it is a bit simpler.
There is a cover over where the serial port connections are, and they are HUGH compared to K4 and more recent.


Use our "Master Index" to look up the serial port connections.
