I've gotten a couple of replies (thanks, folks), and will probably
be having something made up.  However, one other possibility springs
to mind:  After posting the previous article, I said to myself, "you
twit, why not look at the cables and see whether there's any sort of
identifying information there", which I did.  The coax*3 used to make
the RGB cable is from C&M Corporation, AWM style 2919.  I presume that
this would be the correct type of cable to use if/when we make our own
(I hope someone will correct me if I'm wrong).  However, the cable also
has a tag on it, indicating that it was manufactured by Qual-Tronix.
So, I think to myself, perhaps I could just call them up and ask them
whether they have ready-made RGB cables in the length that I want (and
at a somewhat more reasonable price than SGI's).  Problem is, I have no
idea where they are.  Does anyone know how to get in touch with them?
Or even what city they're in?  Thanks in advance.
