Try a continuity test between the pins of the 6 pin cord and the cords inside the adapter (or the DB9 pins).
Yes, it seems fine. Less than 0.5 ohms per wire. (The leads on my meter are about 0.2 ohms)
I also double-checked my wires, and they are straight-through.
I've tried the terminating resistor both with and without a pigtail. I think with the pigtail is both more reliable, and easier to create.
