Hi everybody.

After my experience with Mac emulators, I was so pleased that I wanted a real mac. I found a very nice and cheap Powerbook WallStreet in ebay, and it arrived yesterday.

Until now, it's a beautiful machine. Slender, the screen is great, and it has OSX and MacOffice installed. By the way, MacOffice looks simply WOW!

My problem? It does not have an USB port. It has SCSI and ADB ports, so I can't use my USB printer (Mac compatible).

My problem? It does not have an USB port. It has SCSI and ADB ports, so I can't use my USB printer (Mac compatible).

I've seen that there are many USB-to-ADB adapters, but none ADB-to-USB. Do they exist, or is there any other solution?

Regards
