I am looking for two cables.  If you have any extras lying
around, I would love to take them off your hands:

1) to hook an Imagewriter I to an SE.  The SE printer
   port requires the round, mini-8 type jack. The Imagewriter
   port is the 25-pin variety, female, requiring a 25-pin type
   male connector on the cable.

2) to hook a Hayes modem to the same SE.  The specs are exactly
   the same: mini-8 at the SE end for plugging into the
   modem port, and a male 25-pin connector at the other end for
   plugging into the Hayes (female) 25-pin port.

Both the modem and the printer are on loan, so I would prefer to
avoid paying for brand new cables if I can help it.  But are these
cables so versatile that I would probably be able to use them with
any other printers or modems in the future; in other words, might
it be worth the investment if I can't find any used?

Thanks for any help,
