Slight hardware-hacking fail
Things I found in my Useful Box of Cable-ish Items:
An ADB cable.
A CV/Gate adapter suitable for clocking a digital delay from a SH101. (The very SH101 that's probably still round Chaos's house)
A jumble of USB-phone cables, all for phones that are long since dead.
A sturdy wall-wart that'll provide 5vDC (useful).
A power-brick for a HP Omnibook (Less useful, but I can hack the low-voltage end off and solder it to the above to make something really useful).
A clock-radio.
A bar-code reader.
A single-action air ram.
Things I did not find:
A null-modem cable. Curses! Although I did find one with a 25-way end. I will have thrown out all the 9-25 converters, and if I haven't, the one I find will be the wrong way round.
Java's still a right sack of pants, mind.
