Hello All, I have a request.

Listers who have Powerbook's which were not made for Apple's built in
Airport card, how about sending me information on the wireless PC card you
use.

I want to build a list of cards that are copies or clones of the
Lucent/Agree/Orinoco/Proxim cards that will work in older Mac's. I want to
be able to identify compatability by FCC ID number, and eliminate guesswork
when trying to purchase a new or used card.

If someone knows of such a list, or already has one, please point me to it.

Please follow the format of the Diamond card I listed below. Be sure to
include the FCC ID # off the card and what software you use (OS and
software to control the card). With the FCC ID #, I can look up the card
manufacturer and fill in missing information.

FCC id look up page: http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid/

It's possible that cards with different names, sold in different markets,
or private branded cards, will have the same FCC ID # and thus be supported
by the Airport or Orinoco software.

Please send all PC card information to me direct. In about 30-60 days I
hope to have a list of compatible cards for use on older Macs.

PC Card Information Example:

Thanks to all.
