Re: Appletalk on a IIgs with phoneNet connection to Win2K?

["william strutts" <wrstrutts1@home.com>]

The only DB-9 connector on the original Mac was the
mouse port.  It was pre-ADB and didn't employ the
ADB keyboard until the Mac SE which was deployed
after the IIgs introduced the newer style ports.  I used
to have a Mac Plus and it had the mini-8 connectors.
