TBC-III serial cable pinouts ***HELP!

[tekmage]

Hi All,

I'm working to add a video toaster to my broadcast of AmiWest 2010.  I've got 3 TBC-III cards in my Toaster 2000 but no serial connections between them.  Anyone have the DIP switch settings and the cable pinouts so I can connect my TBC's together for the show?

Thanks!
