It does have a port into which the serial cable fits. Does that mean
that I need to find Drivers or would you suggest that I just buy a
Keyspan. If so will that come with drivers built in ?

Your powerbook probably does not have a serial port so you will need
to provide one that has drivers for OS X. The Keyspan usb/serial

I use the Keyspan USA-28 and am able to connect to NCX via serial.
