(Even better, connecting it directly to a DB-9 which I'd have to buy)

I need it to configure a Sun Ultra, since I don't have a Sun monitor.

What is preventing you from using a PC (desktop or laptop) or a Mac
running a terminal emulator as your console terminal for the Sun WS?
That would involve somewhat less work than converting the H89 and
you would have the benefit of emulating a terminal type appropriate
for the Sun serial console.

None of my Macs have RS-232 (though of course I can get a USB converter)
But I do have a Kubuntu box with RS-232 which I could hook up with a
crossover. However, if it didn't work, I wouldn't know whether to blame
the Sun or my emulator config.

Plus, without a floppy drive, the H89 is useless, so this gets
something out of it.
