TOPIC



    Are any of the following computers compatible with the Apple GeoPort Telecom Adapter?

    * Power Macintosh 5200/75 LC
    * Power Macintosh 5300/100 LC
    * Macintosh Performa 5200 series
    * Macintosh Performa 5300 series
    * Macintosh Performa 6200 series
    * Macintosh Performa 6300 series

    I've heard these computer do not support GeoPort, but they have a ninth pin on the connector in back which indicates it would work.

DISCUSSION


    Although the modem ports* on these computers do have nine pins, the ninth pin is not functional; the port is not a GeoPort. The GeoPort Telecom Adapter is the interface to the phone system and requires a GeoPort connection on the computer. Because these computers do not have a GeoPort, you cannot use the either the GeoPort Telecom Adapter or the Apple Telecom 2.0 software.

    *Note: Some of the Macintosh Performa computers mentioned here may include an internal modem. When an internal modem is installed on these computers, the modem port is covered.
