No, Macintoshes use a compact connection, with 15-pins (kinda looks like a
high density SCSI or Centronics 36-pin connector, but much smaller, and the
two short sides are angled).  It might be Token Ring.  I forget what the
connector is called, but I've read about it, and my PS/2 came with a
Micro-Channel Token Ring card with a DB-9 connector on it.  Would AUI be
interchangeable with Token Ring?  I have no idea.  Token Ring's time is
well and truly past.

Christopher
