That's how it works, but before you go suspecting the mux, are you sure you're getting
the full range of digital data on A, B and C at both ends? The at both ends bit being really
important, on one of my KLM-367s I had the right signals present right up to within 1mm
of the connector, at which point one of my mux selection signals became something
entirely different thanks to the wonderful way the nicad redesigned the board.
Sorry about the over-zealous quote snipping, btw.
