Some enterprising and clueful person should set up a 'classic computer
cable creation company' :-). Specify the connectors and the wirelist (or
maybe just the devides you want it to link), and you get a reproduction
cable.

I guess the problem is that it could be quite expensive... When I do HP
calculator repairs (the one thing I occassionaly do get paid for), I
charge a very low rate per hour, but still seem to end up charging close
to the value of the machine in some cases (a couple of machines I fixed
for myself recently -- an HP67 and HP97, would have totalled over \pounds
1000 for labour if they'd been chargeable repairs...)

Remmeber me if you do set up such a company :-)
