Right, but if it works as a console cable for one machine, then it 
should work for all, so I'm pretty sure that neither the cable nor the 
terminal is the problem.

Looking through my cables, I have found some with the offset pin on one 
end and the non-offset pin on the other, and also some which have what 
appears to be an extra ground wire.
