... Here are the pinouts: http://www.lammertbies.nl/comm/cable/RS-232.html#conv
... another reason I'm sure it's a serial cable: 40 metres is WAY too long for a parallel signal [the IEEE 1284 spec states a maximum cable length of 10 metres] :-) (but 40 metres is fine for an RS-232 connection)
I will second that.
