Plus I've been told that the "Cardbus" > 802.11g cards are incompatible with the 3400's PCMCIA interface. I haven't > heard a definitive explanation of this. Quickly, the 3400 interface is Cardbus-compliant. However, the card cage is not, for two reasons. First, the slots are 'keyed' for PCMCIA, but this can be fixed by trimming the appropriate spot on the card with an XActo knife. Second, when MCE does their Cardbus mod for 3400s, they add electromagnetic isolation between the two slots. Ad nauseum discussion is contained in the list archives with a periodicity (it sometimes seems) of about once every 6-8 weeks. Search away. Now, in the case of an 802.11g card, as well as FireWire cards, the EMI protection is the thing that could be the determining factor. IIRC, there's been mixed success with Firewire. I don't recall hearing anything about 802.11g cards. I wonder if it's time for a thread where folks report CardBus cards they've tried in the 3400 and comments regarding success/failure and any quirks. - Eric. -- Eric Strobel ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) ===================================================================== I'm searching for myself...
