Looking for NeXT mono cables (DB19 -> DB19 ) and Y cables (13W3 ->
13W3 and DB-19) as well as NeXT Mice (broken or working).
Anyone got any for sale or swap?

I may have more mice than I need. I'll check my stash tonight. What length
DB19 do you need? I may have a surplus of the slab cables as well (only a
foot long)

Length is not too important, more important is being able to use the
hardware. ;)

Length is important if you are trying to connect a monitor to a cube and
you've only got 12 inches of cord - it doesn't work so well :)
11:02 a.m.
The cube can be beside the monitor, can it not? ;)

Not with the short slab cables - you can *just barely* have the monitor on
top of the cube - if you can manage to prop it up with something - it's
still precarious. They are really very short cables, designed to fit
precisely between the monitor port on the slab to a monitor sitting on top
of it.

Ah, wel, I have mono slabs too, so that works, as well. ;) Right now
i'm stuck with a pile of gear, a ton of keyboards, ton of montiors,
but only two soundboxes and y cables, and no mono cables :(

At least if you have a short 19 pin cable, you can always cut it in the middle and
splice/extend it if you really had to. Sure, it would be ugly, but 19 pin connectors are
hard to get.
I have a similar problem - I have a couple slabs (one color, one mono) and a cube. I have
a color monitor, and a sound box. I do NOT have the stupid Y cable to hook the color
monitor to the sound box and the computer. I also don't have a monochrome monitor.

Not super-cheap, and you still have to get the multi-conductor cable, but probably a more
elegant solution than hacking up an existing cable. There are probably cheaper places, as
well as ones that will sell cable assemblies.

Would you like to inquire about purchasing a monochrome monitor? ;)

I have a bag of them, but then I used to fiddle with Amigas. They
weren't common then, and they are surely less common now.
I've got a working Cube setup and a couple of mono slabs. The last
time I checked, I had enough cables and peripherals for everything,
but no spares. I should go tidy up that corner anyway - good time to
take an inventory.
If I find I'm a mouse or keyboard short, it's good to know a source.
