You can grab it here : <http://techpubs.sgi.com/library/tpl/cgi-bin/download.cgi?coll=hdwr&db=bks&docnumber=007-2849-004> See page 204 of the manual (page 226 of the PDF file) for the pinout assignment for a din8 <-> db9 (male) cable. Build this and then use a null-modem cable to hook the machine to a PC and it should just work. You can connect any serial device to this cable, just like you'd connect them on a PC.
