Subject: Re: 5300 and pcmcia wireless cards I'd like to ask again, exactly which pcmcia wireless network card works on a powerbook 5300? Does anyone know if the Orinoco Silver PCMCIA card works in a 5300 and what software is needed? On the Lucent website I found an archived announcement circa1995

5300 & WaveLAN silver

The Wavelan silver works like a charm. It won't work with the Apple Airport software, but the Lucent/Orinoco/Agere supplied drivers for PowerPC 16bit/NuBus machines work just fine. Pretty easy to set up. Just tell the TCP/IP control panel to use the Ethernet Slot 1 card (or whatever it's called

No doubt. That's because the 3400 has 32bit capable PC card slots and a PCI architecture. The 5300 (which we are talking about - hence the subject header) does not. For the record, the AirPort card _is_ a rebranded WaveLAN Silver card (last time I checked anyway). Open up a base station and ch

Gary, yes, it is. So is the 2400 and Original G3. That is why it is so trivial to make them cardbus compliant (heck, some of them are CardBus ready out of the box). All PCI architecture macs have 32bit expansion slots (which is the PCI spec, by the way). Peace, Drew From: "Gary D. Adams" <[

This is advertised as a PB 190/3400/5300 battery. I've done business with Megamacs---they're the ones offering the twofer. If it was bad, they'll make it good. We didn't have any other update from the complaining person that said Megamacs ripped him off. Gary Paul Nelson wrote: > At 5:43 PM
