 I'll agree that Apple sometimes carried their
"Think Different" slogan
a bit too far, but in this case they had a reason.  What they expected
users to connect to the original serial card (not the Super Serial Card)
was a Teletype, which of course would be wired as DTE. 
 What use would a teletype be connected to a Mac, which runs an entirely
 graphical operating system? Debugging? 
None.   Eric and Tony were talking about Apple ]['s, not Macs :-)
