High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! GeoPort was a serial data system used on some models of the Apple Macintosh. GeoPort slightly modified the existing Mac serial port pins to allow the computer`s internal sound hardware to emulate various devices such as modems and fax machines. GeoPort could be found on late-model m68k-based machines (the AV series) as well as many pre-USB Power Macintosh models. Some later Macintosh models also included an internal GeoPort known as the Communications Slot. Apple GeoPort technology is now obsolete, and modem support is typically offered through USB.
