The Monitor Optimizer (DTP92) comes in USB, but the older ones I have used
were serial (8 pin mini-din) not ADB, so a KeySpan adaptor, not an iMate,
would be the tool required. The Swatchbook will also work with a KeySpan...
as will the DTP41strip reader. I'd advise against a cheaper adapter than the
Keyspan USB two port serial adaptor, its the one that most devices can see,
others may or may not work for a given product.
