Hey everyone,
I bought a WiFi modem that will allow my IIci to dial into BBSes. If it works, I may post about it in another thread my problem is that it comes with a RS-232 port, which isn't something our Macs have. Rummaging in the basement boxes I've found a RS-232 DB9 to 8P Mini Din cable. It seems like a perfect fit. But I'm somehow reluctant to simply connect any cable to my precious IIci. (I know too few about cables, electricity & hardware)
Enclosing a pic of the cable.
Will this cable work with the printer port on a classic Mac or will I need to look for another solution? If so, what would be my option?
Thanks in advance. Appreciate the help!
