Twisted cable...sorry. Pin far left with cable mated, looking at the mate is ground.

None of the pins on the connector are ground. That'd explain some things.

FWIW, if the SC40 is wired like a "real" DEC computer, then a null modem
cable would be required between the console DB25 and a VTxxx.

If the wiring (ground) was even close to correct, either crossed or non
crossed should give NO characters.   -:)
