Hi Tim, I used the Microsoft MN-520 wireless pc card with the 50CT and it worked well, Meir. -----Original Message----- From: T i m [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, February 21, 2007 1:19 AM To: Libretto Subject: Re: [LIB] 70CT CMOS battery and networking questions.

It also seems there is a physical 'interlock' re the 'L' shape of the side / end of the card, not allowing many (inappropriate presumably) cards to be inserted at all. Finding the right card was what I hoped would be easy via a kind soul here (the next step would be seeing if I could still actually get hold of one .. eBay etc). If it works (worked) for you then it's gotta be good enough for me. ;-) All the best and thanks for your time and reply David. T i m
