Apple PC Compatibility Card - Manual (Page 136)

Connecting to a network
You can connect to shared disks on an AppleTalk or other Mac OS–compatible
network, using the Mac OS file-sharing feature.
By installing the appropriate networking software, you can also connect your
computer to a PC-compatible network, such as a Novell NetWare network.
For more information, see the section “Setting Up Your PC on a Network” in
Chapter 7, and also Appendix C, “Installing Network Client Software.”
Connecting a modem or other serial device
Even in the PC environment, you can use a modem or other serial device
connected to the Macintosh serial port. Macintosh computers do not have the
same serial interface that PCs have, so your modem or communications
software may require adjustment when connected to this port.
You can also connect your modem to a PC Serial and Parallel Card (available
from your Apple-authorized dealer), which has a true RS-232 PC serial
interface. A modem or other serial device connected to this card can only be
accessed from the PC environment.
For more information, see Chapter 7, “Setting Up the PC Environment.”
Connecting a security dongle
If your PC software requires a security dongle, you can connect it by
purchasing a PC Serial and Parallel Card (available from your Apple-
authorized dealer).
