Not right now. There may be one in a few months. : There has been speculation that 802.11g is too much bandwidth for a : PCMCIA slot and isn't possible on a Pismo or earlier TiBook... the : former is true, while the latter is not. If all these machines had was : PCMCIA it would be true, but technically G3/G4 PowerBooks have a : CardBus slot. Cardbus is more than adequate for 802.11g. PCMCIA / PC Card is a 16-bit interface running at 8 MHz, which comes out to a theoretical maximum throughput of 128 Mb/s. 802.11b (AirPort) is 11 Mb/s, and 802.11g (AirPort Extreme) is 54 Mb/s. Should be okay, IMO. -- Eugene Lee [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
