'030 NeXTs and '040 NeXT use different cables because the serial
ports are different.  Mac cables will work with '030 cubes but
not the newer '040 machines.

Anyway, our 12' custom-built cables cost us less than $19.
NeXTconnection is a premium "I want it in the mail TODAY"
service.  Think of them as the moral equivalent of Inmac
or Glasgal.  You don't go to them first if you're trying
to save money (unless time is money, so to speak).
