Windows Wireless on a Mac Network
Anybody using a Windows98 notebook on a Apple ABS (wireless) network? I'd like a recommendation on a dependable WiFi 803.11b PC card for the Windows machine.

Oh, I'm using the ABS dial-up modem if that matters, I have a Gateway and Dell desktop hooked up with this Pismo and an iMac SE 400 and Airport base (Graphite)...Initially tried a Nextel card in the W systems but it just wouldn't work...Switched to the Belkin cards and they took off immediately and are working fine together with the Macs. The Nextel cards just wouldn't see the ABS but the Belkin hooked on instantly. I have Verizon DSL running to the ABS then out. HTH Mike -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

I can't seem to find the specs on the older ones on the Apple site, any opinons on the price difference and airport/iLife? Thanks! :) Diane -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

used G3 prices??
Hi, I'm not to the list and trying to get an idea of what a used G3 would cost. Looking for something that would allow me to surf the net. Also like the idea of a laptop to save space. I have a powermac 7200/75 running os 8.6. I'd like to run a newer os to take advantage of new versions of some plug-ins. I've looked at a couple of used models from dealers, that were striped back to pretty basic machines. Couple of friends told me they were asking too much. Any ideas what I should pay for a pretty well optioned machine, in Canadian coin?? Also, for my needs, is this the best value or is it worth looking at older powerbooks too? Thanks in advance for you help and thoughts. Ed -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Wireless USB adapter driver
Is there a generic OS X driver for a wireless LAN USB adapter? There is a lot of inexpensive PC adapter on the market and I just don't see why none of them have a MAC driver. Everything is ready to add another network connection in the preference / network menu but there is no provision for USB based network connection.
