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. -- -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Recomendations for updates for Wall St.
Looking to add in a FireWire/USB 1.1 PCMCIA combo card AND also add in a 802.11b card to a Wall St. running OS 9.2.2. I will be upgrading to X later so if these cards can be made to work with X that would be good. Any recommendations? The Wall St. fortunately has 2 card slots.

Re: Recomendations for updates for Wall St.
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. __ Do you Yahoo!? Free Pop-Up Blocker - Get it now http://companion.yahoo.com/ -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

For a wireless card check out: http://www.emicrox.com/eShop/product.aspx?cid=-1more=1keywords=skyline+802.11bpid=875478 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. -- Clark Martin Redwood City, CA, USA Macintosh / Internet Consulting I'm a designated driver on the Information Super Highway -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
