If you plan to use OS 9, gets a Lucent Wavelan Gold or Silver, or an ORiNOCO Gold or Silver. Those are from Lucent/Agere and are recognized as Apple AirPort cards under OS 9. You just have to install the AirPort software and you're set! Good, already have one from my 1400! Warmly, Ilene

Well, if you are running OS X 10.2.x, I recommend the OWC 802.11g/802.11b card for 50$. Their stuff is cheap and I haven't had a problem with their stuff. On Sep 16, 2003, at 6:43 PM, Andrew Kershaw wrote: It has to use a non-Apple wireless card, because the Apple AirPort card doesn't have an
