Ries, I posted a link in my reply to Dave, which has a picture of the board with connectors. The problem is the placement of the DB 25 male and female connectors on opposite sides of the board. Probably makes the design of the pcb easy, but it sure makes it difficult to mount the durn thing easily so it's out of the way, doesn't create a weird cable mess or to enclose it so stuff doesn't get to the electronics.
