Uhm. Now I'm curious... StorageWorks2 prototype?
DE9? Now that's not a usual DB9 like on the Emulex, JNI, Interphase or
older Adaptec cards? The HSSDC-connector is an odd beast that looks more
like a RJ45 socket than anything else.

Anyway, the DB9 connector pinout:

 1___________5
  \o o o o o/
   \o_o_o_o/
  6         9

pin 1: +fc_out
pin 5: +fc_in
pin 6: -fc_out
pin 9: -fc_in

This guy had a nice idea:
