call Applied Digital Systems in New York (716) 377 7000 ask for Andy
Ernst... I just bought and connected a shoebox from them onto a NextStation.
Tell him you want a 50 pin micro-scsi to 50 pin centronic for a nextstation.
It is the same cable used by sparcstations and decstations 5000 (note that
the decstation 3100 uses a 68 pin connector and is useless for NeXTs:-) ).
Make sure also to specify the length you want, or they will ship you
a 6' cable which is the maximum length of a scsi bus cable...

I of course have no connections with the company other than having bought
a bunch of diskdrives from them, and a cable that happened to work on a
NextStation.

pasc
ps: the news about NeXT not shipping cables until 91 is really bad, what
about all us folks who want upgrades and actually use external scsi devices?
