Easy. Just get a 8-pin mini DIN (Mac serial) to RS-232 (PC serial) cable
and you're away.

>printers

Much harder. If they're just parallel then forget it. If you have a printer
that's got ethernet or is Mac compatible (Appletalk) out of the box then
you can print to it.

No problem with Multi-synch monitors and any mac produced in the last 4-5
years.
