Scanners, I've only ever bought one new.  Don't recall whether that had
a cable, but my instinct tells me it did.  I'd have been miffed if it
didn't, and that would stick in my memory.  Probably.

Ah, I've bought retail packages rather than OEM.  Anyhow, whatever I buy
in future, should I need to, the likelihood is I already have several
suitable cables for it.

Still, it's all moot ATM, as I have no need to buy any hardware(1).



(1) If that's not asking for trouble, I don't know what is.   :-)
