ok, I went to a indoor sale today, and besides a HP Laserjet 5p with mac serial connection (sorry, i'm saving up for a colour stylewriter), I came along a cable in a box. on one end it had what appeared to be a mac serial or geoport jack, the other end was a DE-9 female serial connection, and there were two barbs along the cable.
Do you think it will work with anything, or will it only work with something in particular? I did not get it, nor did I ask what it was for, though I should have I know.
If it did work with anything, that would be awesome for two reasons:
1. I could hook my dell PC to my mac
2. I could hook the serial end into the USB->serial adapter hooked into my B&W, and then use the other end to connect to whatever vintage mac gear that would need it (E.G. a newton)
any thoughts?
