Does anybody know where to get Apple's mini DIN connectors for the serial ports? We've been trying to find a source for them and they seem to be either nonexistant or the people that you talk to want to sell you a pre-wired cable for big $$$. I bet this has been covered before, but I just bought a Mac IIcx. If anybody can give me a source and hopefully approximate pricing I would appreciate it. If it's a Canadian source, so much the better. Please E-mail your responses to: ryan@amc-vlsi.uucp | Ryan Jorgenson -or- | The Alberta Microelectronic Centre ryan@amc-vlsi.calgary.ca | Calgary, Alberta

Another source for the plugs is: MCM Electronics 858 E. Congress Park Drive Centerville, OH 45459-4072 [800] 543-4330 Get their catalog! It has many things useful to Mac tinkerers. The flyback transformers, for example. --Lyle zebolskyd@byuvax (BITNET)
