Quick search of the parisc/linux yeilded:

Pinout for RS232/AUI cable(A2263-62045) for 712 card (A2263-66536)
------------------------------------------------------------------
There is a card for the 712(HP part #A2263-66536) that provides 2nd AUI
lan
and 2nd DB9 RS232 port. The back of the card has a 26 pin connector and
the
15pin AUI and 9pin RS232 connectors are provided by a special Y cable
(A2263-62045) which are pretty hard to find. Here is the pinout of this
cable
in case you need to make one.

These diagrams are looking at the end of the connector not the back.
Make
sure to take that into account if building a cable. Pin numbering is
taken
from the numbers on the plastic in the cable. If a pin is not connected
it
is represented as an "o". The numbers outside the bottom connectors are
the
pin numbers that that pin is connected to on the top connector.

Hope this helps......by the way if you can find a V-Class test station
console that is a 712, it has the additional LAN/RS-232 card.
