USB cards also work* on the 3400/Kanga G3 and 2400. >>We're trying to find the least expensive >>solution to get it working with her mac(s) since neither her PowerBook 540c >>or the 6100 have usb. I think the early iBooks had usb...did any of the >>Wallstreet or Pismo PowerBooks, or 1400, 2400, 3400, etc. have usb? Well, the Bondi iMac has USB also... A bondi iMac is a worthwhile upgrade from a 6100 (even a G3 upgraded 6100). My suggestion - Bondi iMacs are dirt cheap these days. If portability is not an issue, pick one up on eBay. Otherwise, you'll be paying for a 3400 + USB card or something more expensive (like the Lombard G3). Peace, Drew * The PCMCIA slots on the 3400/2400 series are 32bit - they'll take most CardBus cards just fine. The downside is that the card cage is not CardBus compliant, so some cards might not fit correctly. Also, there is some fun PC card voodoo you might have to go through at startup/wake from sleep. -- <http://homepage.mac.com/alk/> "There are of course many problems connected with life, of which some of the most popular are `Why are people born?' `Why do they die?' `Why do they spend so much of the intervening time wearing digital watches?'" -- Douglas Adams' "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy." -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
