==== NULL ====

This mapping is the same for male and female connectors.

==== INTEL ====

There are two standards for IDC-to-DB9, one is the standard straight-through method, mapping pin n on the IDC to pin n on the DB-9.  The other is "Intel" format, which does a completely daft mapping.  This is explained [[http://www.scantips.com/serial-db9.html | here]].

You can detect this by measuring the voltage between pin 5 and pins 2 and 3, one of which should be positive and one negative.  In the Intel configuration, pin 5 isn't ground, and the voltage on pins 2 and 3 will have the same sign.
