If you just want a one-off you can try something I did way back to make my own HP48-SX connector. Get some pins that match. Solder or crimp wires onto them. Put the pins in the mating connector. Careful use of epoxy to make the "body" of the connector. Viola- your own custom connector.
- thsksbd 2y agoAt least on the GX, you could use the audio cable connector that connected (computer) CD drives to audio cards [1]. The fit is perfect You do gave to then splice that wire to a 9 serial. But thats not too hard and with some shrink tubing it'll look great. [1] I think the connector is a fairly standard part.in the 90s, though, we were flooded with those cables so the tutorials just had us use those

Perhaps the SCSI one tended to be white rectangle without a retention mechanism while the ATA one was one was black thinner, and longer, with a retention mechanism. 3 of the 4 wires (RX, TX, and GND) would then be soldered to a DB-9 female plug. https://www.hpcalc.org/contents/4741/48techni.pdf https://www.hpcalc.org/contents/4741/48techni.pdf
