	I have a blue&white G3 400 which lacks an old-school serial port
alltogether (only USB).  I bought a "Stealth Serial Port" from Gee Three
and used it to do an LocalTalk (AppleTalk over serial) connection
between the GS an the G3.  

	Works perfctly.  I can browse the Mac's drives on the IIgs Finder. 

	Schweet.
