   For the monitor and printer, pretty much any Mac (newer than Mac
Plus) cable will work just fine, as the two shared the same pinouts.
HD cables for macs should also work fine, though you'll probably want
to take a look at the HD and see whether it takes a 50 pin centronics
(about 3" wide, with a big pin layer running down the length of it) or
a DB-25 (smaller, 2 rows of pins) connector.

   You can check out a computer store near you, or for mailorder,
try a copy of _Computer Shopper_ magazine. Several hundred pages of
ads.
