Big difference? I said 'no _major_ difference'.  Crossing pins 2&3
will not destroy anything. Since the beginning of time ... well ... at
least since the beginning of DTE and DCE RS-232 devices, pins 2&3 have
been a problem. Using the wrong cable on a K2 will destroy things.

We gotta keep the priorities straight. 1--Don't let the smoke out of
the chips. 2--Make it work.
