 A colleague has asked me if there might be in existance
 an adapter box for taking an RS 232 input and feeding it into
 the ADB?  Why would you want to do that rather than use the
 modem port, you say?  I reply...because he has some software
 that is expecting input from the ADB, but he has a Calcomp
 graphics tablet that outputs RS232.  

 I've looked thru my back issues of the Mac magazines, vaguely
 remembering some discussion along these lines some time ago,
 but can't turn anything up.  Does anyone have any suggestions?

 THANKS!
