Onandon Starting Member Canada 4 Posts	Posted - 06 May 2002 : 08:38:53 Is there any way to hookup a recent printer to an old 68k mac? I have an old quadra 605 I'm setting up for my mom for e-mail and web access and I'm trying to see if there is a way I can hook up a recent USB or PC serial printer to it (noone seems to make printers with mac serial ports anymore...). The 605 has an ethernet expansion card currently in the PDS slot if that's any help. "No. The first step was when I laughed myself fuzzy thinking about it." - Catbert

This step assumes that the 605 can run the OS required for the drivers. If not, then you're screweed, becuase there's no way a 605 can output to USB. ~Coxy - Leader, Tactical Operations Unit Mayor of NuBus City
