What molex connector are you talking about? To my understanding, the GS and Mac serial ports are virtually identical, hardwarewise. Thus, it would be much easier to just still have it connect to the serial port, and then no hardware changes will be needed. The software will obviously have to be re-written, but that would be the case whether or not it used the serial port. --
