It should; if you can find the original software -- online or on a disc -- see if a Mac version is offered. If not, find out the chipset of the card. Most (if not all) 802.11b cards that can be used by Airport are Orinoco chipset cards, so some maker's orinoco software should work. I am not sure Airport can work on any OS prior to 9.x, but I may be mistaken. Ivy -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
