Also, I wonder how well the Mac will recognise my embosser. I mean, there are no drivers for Leopard, of course, so I'm assuming it'll work fine as a plug and play with a translator? Also, just as a gag, can I use my printer from my Apple II GS with that adapter? I think that would be really funny to see the two Apple products working together.
