Hi
The IDC to 9 pin cables are a generic / cheap item on eBay or from Newegg. Less
than $3 delivered last time I needed any.

Motherboard manual said:
"Connect one side of a switching cable to the header and then attach the
serial COM device to the other side of the cable."
... is "IDC" another way of saying this? what does the acronym represent?
IDC block header is a more correct term as I recall it. Wikipedia concurs:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insulation-displacement_connector
Back in the 80thies when I had my first job, these 10-pin IDC block
header serial cables was already an established standard. If you have
hard serial interface on your motherboard, be lucky, plug it in and run!
Cheers,
Magnus
