You can find it on the www.allusb.com website. The Serial adaptor for the DB-9 works under Windows98 with the WIN16 application Terminal.exe [USB Serial] You cannot get an MS-DOS app to see it because COMMAND.COM does not know about USB. So I'll try it out for the Blue & White G3. I'll let you know. -sean
