Here's my quote from The Mate Company:

	P/N		Descriptiption		Qty	Price
	C4040-1.5PAM	HD68-HD68 external	5	 27.25
			SCSI cable, 1.5ft.,
			molded
	T205XT-AN	68 pin Active Negation	5	 24.50
			terminator, external
	C3030-1.5PAM	HD50-HD50 external	5	 19.25
			SCSI cable, 1.5ft.,
			molded
	T211TR		HD50 FPT terminator,	5	 30.50
			external
	Subtotal					507.50
	Shipping					 12.00 (approx)
	Total						519.50

Again, the first two items are for news, and the next two are for AFS.
I actually asked for only three of the T211TRs (two plus one spare),
but they seem to have missed that when making the quote.  I can go
back and get another quote, or we can spend the extra $61 and have
some extra HD50 terminators, which we could probably make use of
later.

Incidentally, to address an earlier issue on the news side, I phoned
The Mate Company and they said that thumbscrews were basically
standard for 68-pin connectors.  The ultra 1s we have certainly use
thumbscrews.
