Well Bob thanks for the "helpful contribution" (sic). If you look
carefully you will see I added an "etc" to the potential sources of this
cable adapter.

BTW If you go to JayCar <http://www.jaycar.com.au/> and search for

Part#: WC7550

Item: Computer Leads Apple Macintosh Modem Cable D25 Male to 8 Pin Mini DIN Male

Price $AUS 7.80 + P&H

*Obviously* I could lower my conservative 'guesstimate' but DS and T will
often have a higher price so it generally pays to shop around. - But if as

Royally.

Me, I prefer shopping at "etc" :-)
