Just to add to the problems they are not the usual, straight through, wiring so you cannot use one of the cables from a PC.

<SNIP>Without opening up the MinisQL, I can't remember if the IDC headers on the Aurora board are one way, or if the cable can be placed on the wrong way round, so screwing up the wiring.
Yes they can and often are.
Not necessarily. Depends on the version of the Aurora that you have. All proper Auroras have directional IDC headers, however most Qubbesoft ones as documented by Nasta many times were without the IDC jacket ergo the positioning problems
