Is AppleTalk dead forever on iMAC? Let me make a minor correction to your post. AppleTalk is a protocol, not a cable. LocalTalk is the cabling by which AppleTalk can travel, as are serial cables and even Ethernet cabling. You are correct in that the iMac does not have the traditional serial connectors on it, but you can still use AppleTalk with it. Supposedly there are USB/serial adapters coming out to solve this problem, but they ain't here yet. I just read somewhere that Newer Technology just cancelled its plan to make one. You also don't have to wait for a USB printer to print, if you have a printer that can use Ethernet or you have an Ethernet/LocalTalk converter box at the printer.
