Bob:  If you connect pins 8 and 9 together you'll have a console port
on your PRO 350.  so, 1 is gnd,2&3 are the same as for the printer, 7 is
grounded, 4, 5 and 6 I can never keep straight but it helps put DSR into TRM 
sometimes.  Of course you will need a terminal too.  I have one cable which
I use as a printer cable and a console port cable because the printer doesn't
use 8 or 9.  If you turn the console off while it is plugged in it halts th
-e PRO as if a break were pressed.
