In the original offer that was announced on the net, it was stated that the  
cable was extra, and it gave the part number too.  When I ordered mine from  
my (retail price only) dealer, they were quick to specify that I needed a  
cable and a terminator.  I believe that they sold me a cheaper one than the  
one from NeXT.
