CDS Proview S-2000 Machine Hook up

Which one caused the failure?

<edit>

Looking at the RS-232 spec, pins 6 and 7 are "Data Set Ready" (DSR) and "Request To Send" (RTS), connecting either of these to ground should not have done anything according to the spec here:

Voltage levels
 
The RS-232 standard defines the voltage levels that correspond to logical one and logical zero levels for the data transmission and the control signal lines. Valid signals are plus or minus 3 to 15 volts - the range near zero volts is not a valid RS-232 level. The standard specifies a maximum open-circuit voltage of 25 volts: signal levels of ±5 V, ±10 V, ±12 V, and ±15 V are all commonly seen depending on the power supplies available within a device. RS-232 drivers and receivers must be able to withstand indefinite short circuit to ground or to any voltage level up to ±25 volts.

Did you open it to look for any obviously fried parts?

I'm not sure which one as i removed it immediately. We know that it is not necessary now. I have almost that exact pig tail that is pictured for the game king as they are very similar.

So you have the GK pigtail, but not the I/O Data harness? I wouldn't be surprised if the same pigtail is used for both the GK and the S2000...

Yes they are the same but I do not have the game I/O data harness which is the sucky part. Kinda need it really. As a matter of fact I have like 5 or 6 more of these pigtails.
