Just because you’ve upgraded to a G3, a G4, or an iMac™ doesn’t mean you necessarily

need to buy a new printer, too. With the USB to Mac/ Serial Adapter, you can connect

to your older equipment even though it doesn’t have the USB connection that your

newer computer requires.

The USB to Mac/ Serial Adapter connects one USB out port to two Apple Desktop

Bus™ (ADB™) ports. Select between two ADB ports via a switch on the USB to

Mac/ Serial Adapter to access different ADB peripherals such as keyboards, mice,

joysticks, trackballs, and hardware dongles. The Adapter supports both serial and

GeoPort compatible devices.

Because of its fast data-transfer rate (230 kbps; up to 860 kbps using an external

clocking system), the Adapter is ideal for ISDN and other high-speed serial devices.

Please note, however, that the Adapter does not support Epson^®inkjet serial printers or

printers that require AppleTalk^®or LocalTalk^®protocol to work properly.
