Help - PB G3 and Airport
Hello,
I have an Airport in my house and working very well with my Dell Desktop and my G4 PowerBook. I have an old G3 Powerbook, but do not have an Airport slot for it (Pre-Airport days!)
Can I purchase a Farallon card and simply get up and running on the Airport Network? Any particular cards people recommend? Anything else I should know?
Thanks a bunch,
Amit

<strong>An Airport card will NOT work.</strong><hr></blockquote>
That would explain why alot of people use the wavelan cards in the G3 PB.
I have a Skyline card (2 MB) working on my PowerBook 1400 in OS 9. It works great for me. Hopefully, your experience will be better because you should be able to use the Airport software.
Which card supports OS X?
Thanks Guys,
Amit
OS X support for these 3rd party cards is mainly by open source people and they have put out regular updates.

Don't you need to by the Airport card or basestation to get the Airport software?
