"ADB" stands for "Apple Desktop Bus," and ADB connectors have 4 pins: <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Desktop_Bus> Most Apple LaserWriters and StyleWriters have "Serial" ports for cables with mini-Din8 8-pin connectors, which you can view on your printers. ADB ports can be seen on old Apple keyboards and some other peripherals. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
