PCI Card Adds Serial Ports To Blue and White G3s

Keyspan has introduced a new PCI card that adds 4 serial ports to any Mac, including Apple's new Blue and White G3s which do not have standard Mac serial ports. According to Keyspan: "The card features four RS-422 "miniDin8" serial ports. Each port supports data rates up to 1 Mbps. Unlike previous models, the SX PRO provides support for selected MIDI peripherals. Plus, one port on the SX PRO can be made to emulate a Macintosh printer port. This enables the card to be used with a wide range of serial printers from Apple, Epson™, Hewlett Packard™, and other leading printer manufacturers." Keyspan has not released pricing information yet but the company says the product should be shipping by late March. Keyspan
