Yes, if you leave the keyboard off, it might fit. But what do you want to do with a 'Book whithout a keyboard (or with a loosely attached one)? Flashing works, we already sorted this out (I only did it the PC way, but a Mac upgrading may work as well). What really makes me wonder is the wiring question. I didn't try if the Orinoco card works inside the iBook (as I was just checking the physical dimensions). How can it be that putting the PC card in an Airport slot works, but the opposite way doesn't? That doesn't sound logical. If you exchange some pin assignments, it should destroy both kinds of connections. So why does one way work while the other doesn't? Just curious.
