  For those of you (everyone?) who bought a NeXTstation and are adding
an external HD... you don't have to wait to get NeXT's cable (PN N7007).
Call up your favorite 3rd party HD company and order a SCSI cable for
a SUN SparcStation.  The vendor I got mind from (Fast Access in Elmhurst, IL)
called it a "mini-honda to centronics".  I bought a 6 foot cable (2x the
length of the NeXT's) and it works fine.
