Need some help with IBM parts

[Floppyman]

Hi all,

I recently got 6 IBM Netfinity 4000R servers. However, these don't have standard connectors for keyboard, mouse and video, but use a proprietory adapter cable. Here's the IBM link that has the part numbers:

I probably need either the 4ft or 11ft set. Does anyone know how I might go about contacting IBM to get these (the Netfinity are a 5 years old)? Do you think they still distribute them? Thanks in advance for your help.

Hey Floppy, do you realize that cable attaches to a console that has a keyboard and monitor buit into it? They used to use Netfinity servers at Grand Valley for broadcast servers - I don't recall that the console had seperate video, keyboard and mouse ports, it was an all-in-one unit.

I was on a boat once that was once owned by Tom Watson Jr whose father started IBM. IBM's motto was ,or still is, "THINK"

Well the placard said:

THINK (or thwim)

All I ever saw was the user end - never really got behind the console.
