Hi there,

I have recently got a couple of old PPC macs to try out as I have always been a Commodore Amiga and PC person. I am lucky enough to have two ibook clamshells (one bluberry and one graphite with FireWire). I also have a ibook g3 dual usb 500mhz.

On the Amiga and PC you could play some link up games via serial link. Does such a thing exist for this generation of PPC laptops? I know they don't have a serial port but two of my machines have a FW port instead

So for instance can you play Doom or Quake via some link up?

What do I need? Does such a possibility exist?

Many thanks
