I think your dealer may be confused.  The only Connectivity Pack that I'm
aware of is the one for a PC.  If you have an xmodem or kermit communications
program for your Mac, you could use that for transferring files, or if you
have one of those add-on boxes for your Mac that is really a PC in a box,
you *might* be able to run the PC Connectivity Pack on that, but I'm pretty
sure there's not a Mac Connectivity Pack (unless someone at the North Pole
is working on one :-).
