What you need is a USB to Serial adapter. Keyspan makes one <http://www.keyspan.com/products/usb/USA28x/> that has had drivers updated for Classic through 9.2.2 and OS X. As to the printer driver, you will have to check with Keyspan. -- -- Mr. PopMan - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - "Does anybody want to play a game of pinball?" Love is a treasure for which we can never pay.
