Radio Shack _never_ sold those connectors.  When I built the first (and 
probably last) OS-9 timesharing system displayed in an RSCC (the Level 
One manual had all those neat hints that it could be done, so I did 
it), I cut and spliced Coco printer cables to make a null-modem between 
the 64k and 16k machines I used).

The Yen Buddhists are the richest religious sect in the universe.  They
hold that the accumulation of money is a great evil and burden to the
soul.  They therefore, regardless of personal hazard, see it as their
unpleasant duty to acquire as much as possible in order to reduce the
risk to innocent people.           -- Terry Pratchett, _Witches Abroad_
