Alright, I think the 9 confirmed mice means there's not a 6th pin...unless someone wants to check one more so its an even number

Yep, not a problem. The PowerMac 8500 is supported by Apple to run any version of Mac OS from System 7.5.2 to Mac OS 9.1, including Mac OS 8.0, 8.1, 8.5, 8.5.1 and 8.6. (of course…

You mean Mac OS 8? Sure. A 9600 can even still do 7.x, the last Power Mac that could.

I can not recall if the 8500 can do 8.

Just checked mine, and I think that it's safe to say that these mice are pin six free

No pin six here

Yes the cable that i ordered is '8 pin MiniDIN on each end'.thank you very much for your help Bunsen.

My M0100 has no pin 6, and I'm sure it's not just 'broken off'.

Apparently pin 6 is not connected.

Ok i ordered a 8-pin cable male to male. Another question. Is it possible to connect the roland mt-32 to imac g3 with a usb midi cable (for mac 9)?

The DB25 connector on the old Macs IS NOT a serial port! It is a SCSI port, and connecting a non-SCSI cable/device could potentially damage the system. The 8-pin round ports are th…

i bought a cable for connecting the midi interface with the mac. It is a 'Macintosh Modem Cable 3' DB25 M to 8-pin MiniDIN'. It features DB25 male connector with locking screws on …

i was looking around in a local thrift shop today, and i found an apple m0100 mouse. it has the serial type connector, but pin #6 is broken off. for $1 i could not pass it up! i lo…

How Strange!
