The older PC hand scanners have connectors on them that look like Mac serial plugs. They are actually plug into a special Bus card that Microsoft made for the PC. There is very little chance the scanner will work in a Mac, because I believe lots of the line voltages are different. I have a Logitech ScanMan Color that works this way. Hope this helps.
