As it turned out, I had gone to the Adaptec site to see if they had any info
on troubleshooting the type of problem I was having. In order to use their
knowledge database I had to register my adapter, which I hadn't done before.
In their email reply to my registration, they offered me $15 off my next
purchase. When I checked their online store, they had a 2-device +
controller cable on a special for about $32 (approx half the normal price)
so I ended up getting it for around what you quoted. Unfortunately it was a
4-device cable I replaced, so the new one limits me from adding any more
devices.
