I am trying to use the RS232 to control a circuit board. It would have to simultaneously output SerialClock, DataIn, and Chip Select signals, while also receiving DataOut signals; therefore 4 signals total. Does anyone know if it this is possible?

I am trying to splice 4 wires out of the RS232 serial cable (the 9-pin type) and wire them to a circuit board. The 4 wires would control 4 signals: DataIn, DataOut, SerialClock, and ChipSelect. The serial clock would synchronize the DataIn and the ChipSelect is asynchronous. DataOut must coincide with SerialClock also; therefore there are 3 signals that must be able to switch concurrently. All the handshaking enabled by RS232 is thus unnecessary in my opinion. Does anyone know of how this can be done?
