- I work with the ITS product center here at RPI, which is to say the place
- that sells NeXT-type things on the RPI campus (and other campuses in the
- nearby area).
-
- Please note that the SCSI connector & terminator do not come with the CD-ROM
- drive itself. You must order them separately. The reason they are separate
- is that you will need different cables depending on whether you have any
- other SCSI devices already on your NeXT.
-
- So if you're ordering a NeXT CD-ROM drive, do not assume the cables come
- with it. You'll have to order them as a separate item. Presumably the
- place you're ordering from will do that automatically, but it doesn't hurt
- to check. You'd be really upset to finally get the CD-ROM drive only to
- find you can't hook it up because you didn't order the right cables!!
