A local electronic "junk house" here in San Diego has surplus "Apple Mouse
Cables" that at least look like the one in my mouse.  It don't remember the
name of the store, but it is on Convoy St. in Kearny Mesa, right next to 
Little India restaraunt.  If there is a lot of interest, I can get the name
and address of the store, but I doubt if they mail order.  Check out your 
local electronic surplus stores!
