If you have an OS X box that lacks serial ports, you can get USB/8-pin serial adaptors pretty cheap. Then all you need is an 8-pin Mac printer cable to go between.

Not for MacOS... the free alternative would be to install some form of UNIX, but that's not exactly the easy way out ;-)

Oh cool!

You should be able to boot from a USB drive, as long as there is a known working OS 9 or OS X install on that drive. You will have to hold Option at boot with the drive connected. …
