Hi

I am new to this group and to the NeXT machine.
I am thinking of getting a NeXTstation (cheapest version)
BUT first I have some questions about the connectors at the
back of the slab.

The connectors used for the SCSI-II port and serial ports
at the back of the machine don't look too familiar.
Can I hook up a standard RS232 modem
to the serial port? How?
Where can I get the cable to hook up an external SCSI drive
to the SCSI-II port? (I have a Syquest removable media drive)

Please reply by mail. Thanks.
