Kimberley, I would think that you could order this cable from an Apple authorized service provider, as a replacement part (as opposed to an accessory). Have you checked with the service tech at your local Mac dealer? You can also contact Apple to find out where to order the part. It sounds like you have been asking sales people for help with this, you need to talk to the service techs. Be sure to specify you need it for the Apple Quicktake 200. That's going to be the key, that's the product you need the replacement part for.
