We got two additional things.  One is a cable with a SCSI connector on one end  
and a connector that hooks to the drive on the other.  That's for hooking the  
drive to your NeXT.  The second is a "terminator" thingy that can be used to  
terminate your SCSI chain.  (Please note:  I know zero about hardware, so there  
may be some details about these gadgets that are wrong.  The only thing I'm  
SURE of is that we got two additional gadgets!)
