Resolved? HP 9000 800/G40 console cable

I've found what I _think_ is the proper cable for this machine. These bits of info were buried somewhere in the HP web site. I unfortunately don't have the attributions (you can find them right now with a google search), but the general idea is: ------------------- The HP part number for the cable is A1703-63003 and the price is $43 US dollars. This info was found at http://outfield.external.hp.com/cgi-bin/spi/main.pl which is the home page for HP partsurfer, an application that allows toy to identify and order parts for many HP machines. -------------------- Pinout for standard console _cable_ (A1703-63003) is: DIN CONNECTOR FRONT VIEW DIN 25pin 2__1 3.____.2 4____3 6||5 4.____.3 ^ | 1.____.7 KEY --------------------- These were both posted in reply to a question about a different machine -- "F" class I think -- but I have checked HP's "partsurfer" site, and the cable is, indeed, used on the "G" class as well. I have contacted two resellers to see whether I can get it at a reasonable (read: not $46) price. Otherwise I will try to build it.
