I am not sure that what Clark says is true in all cases, but I do 
know, that if you want to use a network USB printer set up on another 
computer, you must download the USB Printer sharing extension from 
Apple Tech support because there is no way to get the  installer to 
put it in a machine with no USB port.

OS 8.6 and up. I have since seen what appear to be the same card with
different labelling stating that they require Mac OS X. I suspect that the
USB 2 aspect of the card might be causing the problem as I believe USB 2 is
only supported in X? Now I have to try to get my money back. :(
I think OS 10.3 supports USB 2 cards properly. I bought an 
inexpensive PCMIA USB 2 card for my TiBook (OS 10.2) and it only runs 
at USB 1 speed. It only came with Windows drivers. I have yet to move 
to 10.3 due to some software compatibility issues.

 Any recommendations? The Wall St. fortunately has 2 card slots.

I'm not sure about the Firewire part but I have had experience with 
the USB cards.  OS 9 includes drivers for USB cards but they aren't 
installed unless the card is present during installation.  You can go 
back and install the drivers from the OS 9 installer disk but doing 
an "Add" in the installer.  I suspect that firewire is similar.

USB 2 shouldn't be a problem AFAIK.

For a wireless card check out:



It includes a driver for OS 9, for OS X you use the source-forge 
driver.  It has the necessary characteristic of it's antenna being as 
thin as the card.  This will let it sit under your proposed 
USB/Firewire card.  I'm using it now with a USB card above it.

You might look around for a thin 802.11g card.  Some of them 
(depending on chip set) work directly with Apple's Airport 3.0 driver 
software.

Re: Recomendations for updates for Wall St.

[Bob]

Get a card that's proven to work with Mac and both OS 9 and X. Also,
I would get USB 2.0.  It's quite a difference from 1.0.  Good pick on
getting the combo card with USB and firewire.  I wish I would have
when I bought my USB card for my Wallstreet.
