I took a DB25 plastic housing and fitted a DB9 conector into the cable end  
with the odd wiring inside.
The adapter was screwed to the plotter, and as far as i know must still be  
with it. This way i could connect normal cables with correct pinout.

BTW i think i may have been mistaken about the long pens, there might be a  
plastic bridge by the pen selector that must be taken out by force.
