DB 19 cable question

[JenT]

Hello

I recently aquired a turbocube with the dimension board, 17" Next Color
Monitor and a sound box. I also have the ADB mouse and keyboard on the
way. What I don't have is the DB 19 cable to go from the computer to the
soundbox. I was wondering if this is a special cable, or could I take a
25 pin cable and modify it, or have one made. If not, where might I be
able to find one for a reasonable price. I looked at the Black Hole
website and it appeared that I should be able to pick one up for less
than they want. Also, can I use a mac keyboard until I get the Next one.
I want to try to get it up and running and was wondering if the key
commands to get into single user mode would work with a Mac ADB
keyboard. Thanks.

AFAIK the cable is just straight-through. Very undramatic.

I can't remember whether, durring the time I had a Turbo Color slab,
whether I ever did that with a Mac ADB keyboard. Certainly the
keyboard works normally otherwise.
