25-way D-type connectors
There are two 25-way D-type connectors on both the Master and Slave
FireWire cards.
These connectors use standard Tascam AES wiring protocol.
On a Master AD/DA card, from left to right, these D-type connectors are
labelled as follows:
1. AES RX DLINE / AES TX
2. AES RX DMON / AES Sync In/Out
Each 25-way connector carries (up to) 8 pairs signals, and these are as
follows:
AES RX DLINE / AES TX
