- According the to prototypes reviewed in MacWeek, MacUser, and MacWorld,
- this is not true: it will have an Apple serial port (9-pin DIN
- connector for links with AppleTalk networks, printers, and modems).
- It will also get (though perhaps not for the first generation one)
- an infrared system to interface with Macs or PCs that will allow you
- to exhange data, back up, and write new applications for it.
