Hello All. I have some questions too. What is the last version of Airport Software that works under OS 9.1-9.2.2? Can the Wallstreet support more that one type of wireless software at the same time? I am referring to perhaps the Skyline and a Airport software, or Airport and Orinoco software. Do

In my house, the base station is on the ground floor, sitting on top of a 5200 just because that is where my router/hubs are located. Yikes! I hope the 5200 isn't turned on! The graphite base stations already have over heating problems without adding a CRT's thermal emissions to the mix...

Actually, This isn't entirely correct.. The original airport card has a slightly different connector witha different 'lockout' pin, which prevents its use in a pcmcia slot. Furthermore it's got a certain 'resistor' (required by Apple of the OEM), placed across 2 pins which could cuase

Actually, the first generation AirPort card uses a standard PCMCIA connector, so you could connect one in a Wallstreet. However, since the card expects an external antenna, You wouldn't be able to do much with it in your Wallstreet. That's not true. AFAIK, there's only one generation of AirPort
