the mac mini has a modem right? is there any way to attach a stealth port to it? has anyone done this?
everymac site says: " A modem was not provided, but an internal modem still could be added for US$29. " i dont really understand that?
what good is a modem without a telephone line plugged into it
lol .. mactron will pop in now and make fun of everymac.com some more heh
"The Mac mini G4/1.5 lacked the internal modem by default"
i think the 1.25 ghz models were the only models that had the telephone modem port on the back panel?
but the other higher mhz models, including the 1.5 ghz models didnt have any telephone port at all?
can anyone confirm this? what good is a modem internally without a phone line port to plug it in tho? im confused ;0
just lookin at this now because im on the phone with a friend who was talkin about using a Xserve to add a stealth port to one..
just to get his mac up off the floor + in the rack to clear up space.. his idea not mine. i never thought of that..
anyway yea i did see a post by macOsPlus tthat spoke of the DB9 serial port being able to be used with the stealth port driver..
news to me. (see this think classic thread:
https://www.thinkclassic.org/viewtopic.php?id=1040 )
One thing that had been nagging in my mind for a while was whether or not the (X-Serve's) built-in DB9 serial terminal/server management port was openly accessible in the typical manner of standard Mac serial ports under OS 9, since it would never appear as a device. On a hunch I installed the driver extension file for the Stealth Serial Port to see if the Xserve's built-in port used the debug port trick in the same manner as the Stealth. Well it turns out it actually does!!! http://macos9lives.com/smforum/index.php/topic,3902.0.html
anyway has anyone rigged up a mac mini to a serial port?
my friends asking me how he can keep his oldschool serial mac gear + clear out his studio (which is cramped for space)
he mentioned the XSERVE i mentioned the mac MINI! telling him its basically an MDD in a small box without the weight + without the noise..
which would be PERFECT for "just MIDI" if it could interface DIRECTLY with a stealth port somehow...
is there a serial port in the mac mini?
anyway to get the mac mini retrofitted to a stealth port?
does anyone have images of the modem connector port?
