Tired of paying ridiculous prices for cables for your PC at local computer stores? I've found an excellent source I thought I'd pass on to you. Its Jameco Electronics, 1355 Shoreway Road, Belmont CA 94002 (415) 592-8097. Their shielded IBM to Centronics 8' printer cable (IBM-8PC) is only $17.95 (compared to $40-50 for the computer stores) and shielded 6' RS232 cables are $10.75 (male-male, MMS-2206) and $10.95 (male-female, MFS-2206). I've seen these cables priced between $35-$40 at the computer stores. The cables seem very well made and should be quite durable. The only catch is that Jameco has a $20 minimum order requirement. -- Terry Zrust AT&T-ISL Denver, CO (303) 538-4547

I bought a sheilded ibm printer cable and a surge protected power strip for $10 and $13 each. Needless to say one should exercise some caution in going mail order, although for small items such as these the risk is low. The prices you quote are usually locally available at discount computer stores. At least they are in the local Washington D.C. area. -ravi -- ARPA: ravi@eneevax.umd.edu UUCP: [seismo,allegra]!umcp-cs!eneevax!ravi
