[Elecraft] KRC2 + K2 + XV + PC = cabling confusion

So .. not a moment too soon. I've completed the new XV144 to use as
the intermediate IF in my rover microwave setup. Now I've already
configured the system such that the K2 connects to a KRC2 with a
custom map, and the KRC2 switches around all sorts of stuff for me.
Last time out I ended up using an IC706 as the IF rig when the
equipment I was going to use didn't work. So now this time I'd like
all these things to play together .. the K2 driving an XV and the KRC2
and Roverlog.
Looking at the KRC2 manual, it sort of indicates an either/or
scenario, and jumpers determine whether the PC side of the cable gets
AUXBUS ans 8R and other control signals. Since I want a PC on there,
can I just parallel the K2 end? I was using a straignt serial molded
9-pin cable between the K2 and the KRC2, now I'll have to build one
(or maybe just hack into it and splice).
