The signal pin usage is different for the IBM interface that uses a crossover cable to save on manufacturing configuration work.

Thanks Ernest and ChickenMan for the quick replies! I'm very pleased I checked on the forum with this and have received the same information from both of you and Ewan confirming the right way to do this. I am glad I did not rely on what I saw on the MSPP forum for a 256TC restoration, or it wouldn't have worked.
So that just leaves one question, I wonder what this is all about?
