Hi Mike I don't know if the following is anything more than snobbery but I was really pleased to move my Pismo from a PC card in the external slot to a real apple airport card. There were several reasons: • aesthetics - keep all your Pismo's lovely curves • practical - no external arial to get damaged when you are traveling • options - keep the slot open for something else (I have a SCSI adaptor.) • OS options - my PC card would work with OSX but not OS9. The airport card worked well with both. • no 3rd-party software worries
I think someone on the LEM swaplist was offering one for US$25 a day or so ago. I'm sorry this is no help with your current card. Good luck!
