gPort Serial adapters
Compatibility

The gPort, g4Port, CubePort and iPort adapters provide standard Mac serial ports that are compatible with all Mac serial devices. They support most Apple and third party serial and localtalk printers, midi devices, as well as any other serial device that works on a Mac.

The original gPort supports the Blue and White G3s, and G4s using the PCI graphics motherboard. The newer g4Port supports the current shipping models of G4 with an AGP video card. If you bought a G4 when they were first released, check the Apple web page describing the models to decide which adapter you need.

The iPort is only compatible with Rev A and Rev B models, 233 Mhz Bondi Blue iMacs. The iPort is NOT compatible with the newer Rev C or Rev D, "flavored" iMacs.

• Network printers such as LaserWriters using Localtalk
• Stylewriters including 1200, 1500, 2200, 2400, and 2500
