Cool PCMA cards for Powerbooks
I'm starting this thread to help Powerbook owners discover the hardly known, hardly mentioned PC cards that can be used with our Powerbooks.
This is to highlight the Type 2 or 3 cards that do things OTHER than add ports (USB 1 or 2, Firewire 400/800, ethernet, modem). We all know about those, they are publicized to death.
I'll go first: A PC card that adds GPS to a Powerbook.

I'm personally looking for a tv and or radio card.
Anyone know of cool PC cards that add something to a Powerbook, share with the class, post a link.

I'm still waiting for verizon wireless internet to be compatible.
Not a big deal or needed when newer PB buyers get Airport Extreme included on the 15" and 17" models.
Althought some PC card based 802.11g have better range...
Anyone else?
WOAH I could get a CF GPS card that should work according to that link!!!
do you know if they have decent OS X support?
A PC card that has a built in NTSC tuner that is cable and satelite ready and allows for video capture.
Although the product is discontinued...it is I'm told, available on ebay occasionally and there is hope other vendors have a similar product!
A start.
Guess nobody on these forums think adding functionality to their Powerbooks is important.
