USB to 6 pin DIN

Can a straight cable USB to 6 pin DIN (round) be done?

I am frustrated with the assinine 1970's style of RS232's and RJ's... why mount makers cannot keep up to date... of course though they want you to buy their cables (which for Takahashi is not cheap, as usual).

At present, to go from PC to mount, I have to go USB to RS232 female converter cable, then RS232 male to 6 pin DIN to the Takahashi Temma 2. (I can avoid all that using the Temma PC GOTO computer stand-alone, but that is clunkier than a 1990's mobile phone )

Cathy, can you make up a USB to 6 pin DIN if I can get a hold of the wiring diagramme?

I have sked Astro Developments in the UK, and they don't/won't do one.
