    Sorry to contradict you Michael, but David's right. The 3-plex serial
expander "pig-tail" is NOT standard equipment on a DN3500. It IS
standard equipment on a DN4000, but an extra cost option on all newer
M68k models. IE it does not come standard with DN35xx, DN45xx, or DN2500
you have to order it as an option.
