If you're referring to BC29R cables I ordered some last month from
www.seadec.com at about $75 each, which was the best price I'd found.
I used them for (hsd05 <-> vax 4000) and (hsd05 <-> uvax 3800).

it looks like the difference between the BC29R and the BC22Q is
that the BC22Q has a straight connector on the micro-ribbon side whereas
the BC29R has a right-angle connector.  I have no BC22Q cables so I can't
check.
