My roommate has a DAK ADC Smart Duck he has hooked up to his Apple //e. So
when I got my Mac + at the begginning of the semester, we sat down to try to
hook them up.
First we got an Apple cable with a mini-8 on one end and a DB-25 on the
other (originally for the Mac XL, send me Email for the exact number, as I'd
have to dig up the original box). When we hooked them up and ran MacTerm, the
program replied that there was no modem connected.
So, a friend of ours brought over his breakout box to find the problem. It
turns out that pins 2 and 3 were reversed, so my roommate built an adaptor
cable reversing the two lines (similar to a no modem adaptor).
Now my Mac + can talk to the rest of the world.
