Reread my post... the cards *may* work, but the Apple driver software 
will *not*, since it's PPC only. (I say they _may_ work because they are 
16-bit PCMCIA cards not 32-bit PC Cards)

No drivers=No network.

All that will happen is that the card will show up as an 'unknown 
device' and sit there like a lump.

Now you *might* be able to do this with a PPC upgraded 540, but for that 
you need the jewel-encrusted Rev C cage...
