That thought had occurred to me but I figure the author of this post was working from a tight budget, and considering how rare the PCMCIA card module (not to mention a PPC upgrade) is for the PB520/540, he would probably spend as much on that one accessory as he would on a complete 5300 or 1400. And since others indicated that the Wavelan silver drivers will work with an '040 processor, your idea isn't really a dumb one. -Mark -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
