How you did it? What software you used? What were the settings to connect to the Arduino? Input information! Knowledge is power!

I know that the Arduinos use USB, so how was that hooked up to the SE/30 Serial Port? Secondly, I a couple of Arduino Mini's (Chinese clones) that does not have USB but they do have a 6 prong serial port (2 prongs is for voltage to turn it on). I would like to get these going on a Mac 68K/PPC.

I don't have any details on ande765a's project, but all Arduinos have built-in serial hardware, even though they don't physically have a serial port. So it's probably just hooking up a few wires between the SE/30 serial connector and the corresponding pins on the Arduino.
