IR cables... where to get them?


Ok, I've recently been piecing together bits of old computers to make new(er) ones. I've got myself a nice old PII-350 on a PC-Craps mobo, and I've still got my old PII-333, also on a PC-Craps mobo. Now, PC-Craps have/had a tendency to bundle the PS2 ports and USB ports together, but I never could figure out why they had a PS2 mouse and a PS2 IR adapter when they don't supply any sort of IR cabling! Ok, there is a point to this, I promise... As soon as I have the BIOS sorted on my 333 I will, theorhetically be able to get the 350 and the 333 to communicate over the IR port. I'm prepared to do lots or reading and thinking and stuff, in order to get a 'network' connection over IR, but first of all I will need 2 IR cables.

Here's the point: Anyone know where (preferably in the UK) I can get a couple of these damn elusive PS2 IR cables?

Cheers muchly.

Grant.
