Nope. The original Mac 128K through to the Mac 512KE used a DE-9 female
connector for the printer and modem ports (as did the original
LaserWriter). There is even a diagram of it in Inside Mac, Volume 3
(which I have right here). The pinout is quite different to a PC.
The Mac Plus was the first Mac model to use the Mini-Din-8 connector for
the serial ports. (It is documented in Inside Mac, Volume 4.)
I don't know what the Lisa used for its serial ports, but it wouldn't
surprise me if it was the same DE-9 female.
