However, the seller didn't include the jumper block and power cable that the manual says is included. Assuming I can't get them from him, what are my options? Are there any generic parts available somewhere that work?
I'm waiting to hear back from Sonnet support.
Thanks -

the power cable you should be able to fix, depending on what connectors it needs (if it's a standard 4 pin molex(F) to molex(M), I have these FS cheap)
However the jumper block may be a different story, as it would have to have the right pin config and such. Hopefully Sonnet can send you one asap

Personally I find it hilarious that you have the hots for my gramma. Especially seeins how she is 3x your age, and makes your Brittney-Spears-wannabe 30-something wife look like a rag doll who went thru WWIII with a burning stick of dynamite up her a** :)

You can use tweezers to pull the jumpers out of the jumper block that should be on your machine and re-configure them, if you can find a chart showing how they should be configured. I did this a while back with a G4 500 ZIF card. It's tedious, and the jumper pins are tiny and easy to drop and lose, but it'll work.

I don't see why the jumper block should be necessary. I had a 1GHz Sonnet G4 in a Beige G3 a while back and didn't have a jumper block installed at all.
The power cable is necessary, however.

Yeah, the guys at Sonnet sent me a diagram of how the Jumper blocks need to look.
However, the cable is $20

Well I bought the cable. All I need now is to get an OS 9 disk up and running.
