Congress Park Dr. Centerville, Ohio 45459-4072 (513) 434-0031 (800) 543-4330 1. I've never ordered anything from them before, though they've been sending me their catalog for about 2 years now. They primarily seem to stock stuff for TV, electronics repair shops. 2. I haven't seen the connectors side-by-side, but from pictures and seeing the MacPlus in person, I believe the IIc connectors are the same as the ones on the IIc. Are they cabled the same? Only Apple knows at this point--perhaps someone else can tell us. I would strongly suspect the answer is yes--since both machines use the Imagewriter II with the DIN connectors and the Imagewriter 1 with a 25 pin D connector. In any event, $6.25 is certainly a reasonable price, even if you chop one up to make a DIN to 9 pin D converter. -- William C.
