Stealth Serilal Port for iMac

there are quite a few different types of these so lets go thru them
Powermac G3/G4 (PCI Graphics) Version even more rare + hard to find now, 2 revisions of this type due to the visual nature of this type, these are often discarded by computer techs + people who think its just a lousy modem. (i personally have thrown a few out before i learned what they were) if you see any type of grey/ata ribbon looking cable on the right side of the case, going to the rear of the case this is most likely
a serial adapter, either a stealth by geethree or a gport/g3port by griffinfirst version was for the B&W powermac G3, which was also compatible with the first edition G4, the "yikes!" g4
this version is visually different from the other SQUARE board.. it is a long rectangular smaller board + shorter cable + port adapter
"connect your serial peripherals to the blue power macintosh g3"
there was also a version for the imac
How can I tell what revision iMac I have? Does the Stealth Serial Port for the iMac also work on the new iMac DV?
The Stealth Serial Port for the iMac works on revisions A-D of the iMac.
This covers all models of the iMacs (including the flavors) with processor speeds from 233MHz -> to 333 MHz.
The new iMac DV and iMac - 350MHz. are based on a new logic board. The modem slot on these machines is very difficult to access and the hole for the modem jack is not large enough to accommodate a serial port. Sorry.
