Hi Sheryl > > Now to see what an HDI30 looks like --is it round or oblong??? > Nope-definitely oblong and not round- it is what I am USED to calling SCSI. Not sure if anyone else has answer this yet but HDI30 is indeed a SCSI port. I used to use one on a PowerBook 520 to connect it to external SCSI devices. SCSI data can be sent through several different types of physical cable. > > Um- Googling AppleTalk Port and hunting around- nothing as far as a port is > concerned so now I guess it must be serial.... Just in case the listers aren't getting it from your description, why not post a photo of the back of your laptop so we can see the ports. However, I'd tend to trust LowEndMac's descriptions of macs: I've never known them to be wrong about such details.

Why not get a PC card for one of the Wally's slots to give the Wally some USB ports? Then you will have a much wider choice of printers, no matter what operating system you eventually get the Wally to run? cheers Bruce -- immobile Bruce - have slaptop, will stay in bed -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Books, a group for those using G3 iBooks and PowerBooks (we run a separate list for G4 'Books).
