The Powerbook G4 only has a Cardbus slot and is not forwards
compatible to an ExpressCard style format. It'll work with a MacBook
Pro (as the MBP has an ExpressCard slot) but I'm afraid the only way
around this one is to track down an older Cardbus style card or use
it as an excuse to grab a brand new MacBook Pro.
I'd pick the latter ;)

I recently signed up with 3G for Broadband Mobile after being told
that it
is compatible with Apple laptops.
My G3 PowerBook 400 (Firewire)( OS 10.4.10, 640mb ram) will power
the Mobile
Broadband Card and the Card flashes blue (apparently an indication
that the
card detects UMTS service), but the computer won't detect the card.
The Card is a Novatel Wireless HSPDA Modem.
It seems that the computer needs to accept Express Cards. Is there
a way
around the problem, other than ditching the PowerBook?
Thank you,
Michael Hawkins.
