Port Icon And Name
Specifications - Software
The male DB9 serial port on the Keyspan Adapter is seen as a serial port by Mac OS. The
Keyspan serial port is interfaced via the "CommToolBox" API and is then available to any program
that accesses serial ports via this API. For programs that don't use the CommToolBox to access
serial ports, the Keyspan adapter can emulate the PRINTER and/or MODEM ports as found on
older Macintosh computers.
Note: You can only have one PRINTER port on any given computer. In
order for the Keyspan adapter to emulate either of these ports, the
PRINTER port must not be 'in use' or registered by other software or
hardware. For example, PRINTER port emulation is not available on a
Mac that already has a PRINTER port builtin (any pre-USB Mac).
