Re: PB1400 USB options
I found a MacSense card that worked. I don't have it handy but can email you the product numer if needed. Their website has drivers for only two model numbers available, so it must be one of them: an MPC-10 or an MPC-200. The card came with a dongle with RJ45 (10bT) and BNC (10b2) connections. Clark's right and he's talking about 10/100 cards, not 10bT/10b2. MacSense make both a 10bT and a 10/100 card, the latter being CardBus only. On the 1400 or older, only 10bT is possible.

Re: PB1400 USB options
No, no, no. Sorry. Both USB and Firewire are 32-bit PC cards (Cardbus)and the 1400 is only equipped to handle 16-bit. I wish that there might be some workaround, but none has as of yet come to light. If I am wrong PLEASE let me know. I'd love to have these capabilities in mine as well.

Well, I can't say I've tried the USB, FW or Wireless cards yet, I *know* that the ethernet card works because I have one.

Re: PB1400 USB options
I've been told by an Apple rep at CompUSA that you can do both of these (and also wireless) via a PCMCIA card... Airport wireless with the 1400, yes. But that's the point - Airport is PCMCIA. 100bT, FW and USB are CardBus. The CompUSA rep doesn't know his/her onions (or Apples, evidently).

Re: PB1400 USB options
I believe it is Farallon, but will check when next I use the little beast. If I understand you correctly, if it is CardBus, then it cannot be used on the PB1400, correct? I believe what I have is PCMCIA. Regards, Judy Perry On Tue, 9 Oct 2001, Clark Martin wrote: Do you have a 10/100 Ethernet card for the Mac that isn't CardBus?

Then again I'm not really in a hurry to get 100BaseT on my laptop. Neither 16 bit PC Card nor my 5300 are up to making good use of 100BaseT. But it would be nice to have it.

Re: PB1400 USB options
I'd like to find out what options there are to add USB or possibly Firewire capability to a 1400cs (with Sonnet G3 upgrade). What kind of add-ons are available? I'd like to hear from those who might have these accessories how well (or not) they work. I'd considering getting an MP3 player and obviously need to deal with the connectivity issue. None, I'm afraid. AFA USB/FW are concerned, the 1400 is a dead end.
