If anyone thinks that the mesh of a net is an independant, isolated thing, he is mistaken. It is called a net because it is made up of a series of connected meshes, and each mesh has its place and responsibilities in relation to other meshes. - The Teaching Of Buddha, (c) Bukkyo Dendo Kyokai (Buddhist Promoting Foundation), Tokyo 1966, -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: What wireless cards should I consider?
From: Dan Palka [EMAIL PROTECTED] I doubt it will work with the Newton. The card is still in production. Go to http://www.proxim.com/ for more information. Again thats the Orinoco series of cards. No, I meant machines produced in the last year or two. I'd like to use this card with a laptop (Dell PCs running Win2k or WinXP) at work as well as my Powerbook 1400, and maybe my Newton 130. Yes, to most of the questions. The Orinoco Wavelan Silver works with any powerbook with a PCMCIA slot: from the 190 up to the TiBook. Works with OS 7.5 up to Jaguar (OS 10.x needs the Opensource driver: check out versiontracker to find it). The card works with most PC portables too. Don't know which OS, but IIRC Win 95 and up (or down, depending on your perspective). It's a nice card for shared Mac-PC wireless networks. It also works with Airport software on, IIRC, G3 and G4 powerbooks; don't know if anyone's got it to work with non-G3 powerbooks and Airport software. Also works as Software Base Station in compatible PB. Also is rumored to work with Newton (there's a web site detailing same; do a Google), but, IIRC, only with the Newton 2000 and 2001. Also, there are alchemistic sites detailing how to flash the Silver card to turn it into Gold (higher WEP: 128-bit vs 64-bit, IIRC). All in all, a great card that you can usually find selling in the $40 range. Chris -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: What wireless cards should I consider?
Well any PowerBook that has PC card slots, a 68040 processor or above, and MacOS 7.5.3 or above can use the Proxim/Lucent/Agere Orinoco 802.11b cards. They come in Silver and Gold - gold has higher encryption thing. The card used to be called the WaveLAN by Lucent, so if you find one of those its the same thing. The same set of drivers will work for any of the Orinoco or WaveLAN cards from any of the manufacturers, since its just the same card but kept changing hands for some reason. Last time I checked at PriceWatch.com they went for $32 plus shipping for a silver. Hope that helps. I just bought one to go on my 190cs. The cool thing about the card is that it and it's drivers are 68k compatible. Hello everyone, I know that this has probably been covered before, but here goes: I'd like to know what wireless cards would work with my Powerbook 1400. ** Lots of hellos from Dan Palka's Quadra 800: The power to be your best. ** -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: What wireless cards should I consider?
As opposed to newer laptops (Macs)? Any new laptop with a PC Card slot. So long as thats there. Are these cards compatible with newer laptops also?

Re: What wireless cards should I consider?
Well then you're all set :) Actually, I found a driver for the Newton already. http://www.ff.iij4u.or.jp/~ngc/eng/newtwave.htm Google will find anything. ** Lots of hellos from Dan Palka's Quadra 800: The power to be your best. ** -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
