I have read several times that you can use the standard Printer cable (mini
din-8 to mini din-8), although I havn't tried that except for serial
transfer. It's not that hard to find 2nd hand LocalTalk connector kits,
often you can get 3 or 4 for $10 on e-bay. Or better yet try a Mac NG,
that's how I got my last 4.
