Macs don't have COM ports. They have MiniDIN-8 ports like the IIgs has. To
connect the two isn't a simple matter of rearranging the pins. The COM
ports and the MiniDIN-8 ports have different signals.

I think I saved a file somewhere that told me how to connect the two to
get the proper connection. I'll look into that.
