[Got, thanks JDShaffer :-)] WTTF: some DB-9 connectors
o-o:
Edit:
I'll trade for some DB-9 connectors (one male, one female)
my available trade list:

user 'dabone' helped explain the diagram, its much simpler than I thought, and I already have a regular serial cable which has a broken end, so I just need some DB-9 connectors now
unclet:
Are you just requesting that a serial cable (male/female) wire be cut in the middle and the 9 internal colored wires be soldered together to match your diagram?
If so, then I guess you do not own a soldering tool ...... or perhaps you need the special "double-shielded" type serial cable?
o-o:
I wasnt completely sure of how to do it, or what the diagram meant..
Does it mean: just 4 wires are connected, 3 of which need diodes, and a few pins at each end are merged (?) [can those be merged for sure in the middle, or is there a possibility of the device needed them merged only at the ends?].
I thought it would be easier to trade for from someone who has made a custom serial cable before... and has spare parts, I dont have spare serial cables etc..
Im not sure if double shielding would be necessary or not (for a graphic tablet)
dabone:
Dude, shipping on the connectors is more than the cost.

Run to radio shack and grab a couple.

I think the problem was not knowing how to intepret the diagram itself rather than not being able to find a serial cable. He mentioned "diodes" might need to be required ..... I am not sure how to read the diagram if diodes are required.
I thought he wanted some wires connected from the male to female ends and that was it .....
