Wow really? I have ADB cables coming out my ears since I keep finding 'em
cheap in used computer stores and the like. Actually, I use some of them
as S-video cables. I had one going from the S-VHS dedicated to A/V work to
my 840av (now an 8500) until I freed up a monster cable. It was connecting 
my LD player to my receiver until I swapped in a short ADB keyboard cable 
(like one foot long or so) and took out the yard long monster.
