No, Apple never shipped an A-only card, they were always A+B cards (they were internally identical to the Lucent Orinoco Silver cards, which were what early Airport base stations actually used.) Also most, if not all WiFi routers at the time also supported A and B. I know the Cisco ones we set up in our building (which were contemporaneous with the advent of the Airport) supported both A and B. You could get amazing speed from A… IF you were within, say 15-25 feet, completely unobstructed, of the router. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
