If you don't mind doing a little hardware / software:
I've been using a module from FTDI that 'talks' TTL level RS232 at
baud rate up to / past? 115Kbaud, and 'talks to' USB thumb drives.
Go to digikey / etc, and look at the 'VDRIVE3' from FTDI.
It does all the grunt work in handling
I have looked at the pinout, it is different, but you can use a method
called "dead-bug"
to wire the 7442 in place of the n8251.
I've attached the spec sheet for the n8251 to this email.

By the description, it is a 1 of 10 decoder chip.
Have you looked to see if it pinout compatable

Does anyone have one of the patch cables, and can they measure the
diameter of the pin and it's length?
The width goes from about .093" near the tip to 0.1" near the crimp. The

They generaly use mirrors -
I would cobble something together by taking the laser diode read head from
a CD rom,
and removing the diode assembly, and glue a small, thin, front surface
mirror in its place,
and drive the coil from the output of an audio amp, just to try it out.
A pair of these,
Does anyone have one of the patch cables, and can they measure the diameter
of the pin and it's length?
Also, is it a straight pin or like a bannana jack with springy sides?
There is a company www.mill-max.com that makes almost any type of
pin/socket that you can think of -
