Right... ADB cables are pretty straightforward.  I've managed to get the
regular cables and the extension cables at my local consumer electronics
shop.  the only one i had trouble finding was an ADB Y-cable... had
to go to a Mac (shudder) shop to get it.  Got the worst looking
invoice i've ever seen from there, too... laserwriter II with a mostly
dead cartridge, printed from an SE.  not too quick, either.

ahh well... as snow white said, "Some day, my prints will come."
