I'd like to be able to provide a <comprehensive list with the article -- thanks! Blackbird does it splendidly! No magic. Gotta have the card cage though. I've a PB 520 with 20 MB RAM and a rev. B PCMCIA card cage. I've used 32 and 64 MB CF in a very plain CF PCMCIA adapter. Works with OS 7.5.5 and OS 8.1 even with all the bells and whistles. Boots and runs very fast. Does OT/ppp and cable internet and printing just fine. Crashes at about the same fairly low frequency too. I'd recommend a 128 MB CF so as to hold a few programs too, and really make the thing fly like a spy plane. What I really want to know is who has actually got an Orinoco wireless card to work in the PB 5xx? I get messed up in the software instalation and the PB says the card is unrecognisable. Same card works fine in PB 3400. Richard W. -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
