- Macs with IDE hard drive do not provide SCSI
termination power, depending on external SCSI devices to
provide it. For more details, see SCSI
Termination Power.
- On most models, the serial ports do not support
hardware handshaking necessary for high speed (9600 bps
or higher) modems. However, Global Village Teleport
Platinum modems implement handshaking on the modem,
providing 28.8 kbps and faster telecommunications. (The
final revision of the motherboard does support hardware
handshaking.)
