Posted by: insaneboy on 2013-11-24 16:36:27 Handy aren't they? I use one to connect my barcode scanner to modern macs.

Posted by: theos911 on 2013-11-24 17:51:45 I seem to recall them being rather pricey. Have they come down?

Posted by: CelGen on 2013-11-24 18:08:28 It was $3 at a second hand store. Not really sure.

Posted by: Trash80toHP_Mini on 2013-11-24 19:41:47 Unless they've come down a lot in price, methinks you got it for a couple of bars, much less a song. I really like your clear one, IIRC, mine's some dreadful blue-green excuse for a color.

Posted by: volvo242gt on 2013-11-24 23:25:11 Mine is the earlier Bondhi color. Got it for free from a guy on flickr who didn't need it. Will be using it on the G4 again once I source another working M0116 or M0115. -J
