You should be able to use the same sort of cable that connects an
ImageWriter II to a IIgs, i.e. Mini-Din-8 connector on both ends, with
the signals crossed over internally (the normal configuration).

If you want to hook up more than two devices, you will need a cabling
system: either LocalTalk drop boxes and cables, or Phonenet drop boxes
and telephone cable.  The latter is much cheaper.
