Yes you can by ready made cables on nearly any comp store in Germany. They are
called X-Modem cables. Whereever you are living i think it is a common device
you can by at your local store! If you have a describtion of the pins of a
normal serrial cable you can change SD - Send DATA and RD - Recieve Data on one
end of the cable with a soldering iron. This is quit easy and much cheaper than
a new one!
