I had to call iomega (who transferred me to a company called PC & Mac Connection) to order that cable. Their price is $30 (+$5 S&H). I was told that they have a large backlog of orders and mine won't be shipping until the beginning of January. I could not find the cable in the Milwaukee area at Computer City, Circuit City, Best Buy, Comp USA, Egghead or Radio Shack. It seems that that cable is a rare item around here -- I'd think it would be in great demand with the large numbers of people buying Zip drives, many of whom must have newer systems with 50-pin SCSI-2 connectors. It's too bad that iomega doesn't include SCSI-1 and SCSI-2 adaptors in the package for the many users who don't have DB25 connections. Eric
