The best of these is probably the 3Com EtherLink III, model 3C589C.
These are useless without the dongle, however, and there were several
dongle styles, from the short RJ-45 female to the long RJ-45 male.
Early 3C589 cards took a special

Or, failing that, modify a CardBus PCMCIA card to fit in the existing card
cage. This can be done on a 2400, 3400 or Kanga, none

Hi everybody, new to this list.
I'd be interested in this too, but I don't think
it's possible. Apparently the PCMIA slot on the
Powerbook 1400 isn't fully cardbus compliant, so
USB simply won't happen.
An alternative might be to replace the internal HD with say a 30GB version?

How about an external SCSI to USB converter ?
Or serial to USB ?
I've heard of *USB to SCSI* and *USB to serial* but never the other way
around.

In practical terms, correct. Many moons ago someone mentioned some mythical

I imagine that the same applies to USB 1.1 also? Or are there USB 1.1 PCMCIA

No, there are non 16-bit USB PCMCIA cards, only Cardbus ones (32-bit)

No such animal exists.
All USB cards, of whatever version, are Cardbus cards, NOT PCMCIA cards.

It's not CardBus compliant at all. To do CardBus, you need a 32-bit PCMCIA
controller on a PCI architecture. The PCMCIA controller on the 1400 is a
16-bit controller running on the NuBus-based architecture of the 1400's
As far as your question, it would not be impossible to create a USB card for
the 1400, but so far as anyone on this discussion list knows, it was never
done.
It was never done.
