Yes I agree it would have been the "right" thing for NeXT to include the  
scsi cable & term. BUT all product literature about the CD-Rom even  
including the dealer price list all state you need scsi cable & term. So  
possibly the person you ordered it from forgot to tell you. Also the Apple  
CD-Rom which is the same Sony product comes packaged the SAME way, no scsi  
cable no term.

On a side note about the NeXT CD-Rom:
Apple sells the Sony CD-Rom, The old model is called the 150, the new one  
is called the 300. From what I understand the big differance is the 150  
does single session photo-CD and the 300 does multi session photo-CD.  
After looking at the Sony part # my guess is the latest batch of CD-Roms  
NeXT just shipped are in fact the same ones Apple is using in the CD-300  
which means they should surport multi session photo-CD (the part #s were  
not the same but were very close to each other but not close to the  
CD-150)

What has anyone else found ouyt ?
