- It should work (but, of course, only hooked to one OR the other, not
- both at once ;-)), but you'll need some Mac drivers for it. They talk
- about this briefly in the manual. I don't know where you can get one,
- since NEC talks about drivers being available on their BBS and
- explicitly EXCLUDES the Mac.
