 A very nice interconnection bus, I think it sounded something like non-
blocking crossbar switched 400Mbps topology. I've got three of those Servernet 
II cards, but am missing cables to put the stuff together. If I read the doc 
correctly, I can connect the cards directly to one another. However I'm missing 
the appropriate cables, does anyone know where to get such stuff 
(cheap/Europe)?
