Serial port for G4
In one of the cases I picked up, was a Stealth Serial port. It goes were the
modem jack is and where the modem sits on the motherboard.

Yea, those are pretty cool. Problem is I have no use for a serial port so if I bought one for my G4 it would pretty much go unused. An ADB port however would be very useful.
They're good those, I've been kind of wanting to get one for my G4 for a wee while now but I don't really have any use for it since I have other Macs with built-in serial.
Which model is it for? I have one that doesn't suit my Digital Audio, and I'd like to swap for one that does.
It is for a G4 . Came in a Sawtooth
Interested in one for a G3?
Not really. After tasting the speed of the G4, I do not want to go back.
I have one that came with my B&W, never really used it for anything...
I'm looking for one to connect to older MIDI interfaces, Palms, old Macs, and other oddments. USB to serial interfaces won't cut it for Localtalk or MIDI
A quick Google indicate's that's pretty universal.It will not support variants of the serial port such as:
* AppleTalk
* Geoport
* MIDI devices
* External clocking (All Laser printers and most color inkjet printers)
Real computers have serial ports!
Real computers have toggle switches!
I have one of those on my B&W G3. It's great for syncing my Newton. Much less fiddly than a USB serial adaptor.
