You just made me think of something that I never considered before. The 15 pin serial I'm using is a VGA cable... meaning it may have some inactive pins. I'm not trying to save weight, I'm trying to save time. The serial cable that we need would take a few days to get however the VGA is readily available.

EDIT: On the cable all the pins are present, I don't know how to check if they're active or not.
