Does anyone know how I could establish a serial connection between the
printer port on my PowerMac 6500/300's mini-din serial printer port
and a USB port on my my iMac. I just realized my life is actually
easier if I don't have to hook up a monitor to get at the Open
Firmware.

Is there a cable? an adapter? do I need one of those usb to serial
converters? How cheap can I do it? Will someone who's done it let me
know.
