I have in hand the following:

        1 2280.01 Next Y-cable
        2 4536.00 Next Y-cable

It is my understanding - though I cannot at the moment lay hands
on my reference for this - that the 2280 is a non-ADB unit,
whereas the 4536 will go either way.

If you chaps can sort out who needs/wants what and make me a
reasonable bid, perhaps we can all come out satisfied on this.
Please contact me off list.
