Subject: Ethernet PC Card for PowerBook 1400c I am looking for an Ethernet PC Card for a PowerBook 1400c. I am running System 8.6 and believe I need a driver as well?

You can find the Global Village combo (modem and ethernet) cards on ebay; those work. The GV extensions conflict with a couple other 3rd party PC Card extensions though. Or a Farallon Mac PCMCIA ethernet adapter can be found on ebay. These are often a little pricey though. You can also get 3Com 589 series cards for very cheap ($10-14 usually) from places like www.computer-show.com or www.compuvest.com, or ebay. You should be able to use anything that says 3C589 in the part number, Xjack or dongled or whatever.Just NO combo 3com cards, or cardbus or 10/100. Stick to 10bT. The 3C589 card is the same chipset as the Farallon Mac-specific cards; Cameron has a web page up that has a patched driver and some support information. http://www.floodgap.com/retrotech/mac/enet3c589/ I've put the patched driver on 5 laptops with never losing my system folder; if you get the flashing Q (I expect not, but just in case) follow his instructions and you should be fine. Don't format the drive or reinstall or anything, all your stuff should still be there, the system folder just got unblessed somehow- boot from a floppy or CD or something and re-bless it. The GV extension crashes at boot if the Farallon extensions (original or patched) are installed ( I have both types of ethernet cards). If you search this list archive for 3C589 a bunch of past posts come up about this. Hope the web sites are still useful, their stock changes, last I looked the Compuvest place had the better selection. Beware of cheap prices on ebay with HUGE shipping fees, kinda ruin the point of a cheap card. Brian -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
