SCSI cable 'tween Cube and a Zip drive

so the kind folks at work gave me a Mac and a Zip drive to work at
home. So with this Zip drive sitting next to my NeXT I'm wanting to
attach it. I'm having a devil of a time finding a SCSI-2 (NeXT) to
DB-25 (Zip) cable. Anyone have any suggestions where this kind of
thing might be found?

A store local to Albuquerque NM would be nice but mail order will
suffice.

Try Hallmark Cables;  I've gotten not only cables like that, but small 
adapters that will convert scsi II to the centronics style interface, 
etc.  If they don't have it in stock, they've got the tools to either 
make it, or get it else where...

Thanks to all the folks that sent me answers. In the case of
Albuquerque the correct answer is Hallmark Computer Supplies. I just
got off the phone with them and they have exactly the cable that I
need (for about $30).

I'll check to see if they do mail order in case folks are interested.
