Hey, I'm a bit lost in this thread: the original poster asks about wireless for iMac G3. I own a http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IMac_G3 myself (slot loading), it runs GNU/Debian (sid) since I bought it 5 years ago (never booted with anything else), I would really not know where to plug anything like the adapters you people are talking about.
where's the catch? regards, Mario On 2009-0818 11:52:52, epic93d...@gmail.com wrote: > What about Linux? > Sent via BlackBerry by AT&T > > -----Original Message----- > From: "Simon Royal" <m...@simonroyal.co.uk> > > Date: Tue, 18 Aug 2009 12:54:51 > To: <imaclist@googlegroups.com> > Subject: Re: Imac wireless > > > > Hi. > > iMac G3 with a slot loading drive are Airport compatible with a bracket. > > I have used usb sticks under 10.3 and 10.4 successfully.
