Although I haven't looked, it seems to me that SOMEBODY must carry the
3-pin micro-DINs.

We decided pretty early that the custom cabling kit was just not worth
going for, and also that building little transceiver boxes wasn't for
us either.  And so, we bought a spool of the blue-jacketed Belden twinax
that looked pretty close to Appletalk cable specs (although the Belden
offered better shield coverage; this was NOT the cable that Belden now
sells specifically for Appletalk), a bunch of XLR (microphone) connectors,
and spliced them directly to the short Appletalk cables that came with
the standard kit.  So what we have at each end is...

=====================<>---------[]---------<>======================
Belden           Male  Female          Male  Female          Belden
                 inline XLR's   ^      inline XLR's
                                |
                        Appletalk box to Mac,

Now, why half male/half female on the cut-in-half 6' cable (which is
male/male)?  Some of our macs move around a bit, so at each temporary
location, we left a ceiling to desk drop of Belden with the XLR's
snapped together.  So far, no problems.
