The Orinoco will indeed fit in some Apple Laptops. The Kanga, Mainstreet, Wallstreet, PDQ, Lombard and Pismo Thinkpads will all happily run an Orinoco Gold. And somehow you can persuade the Thinkpad to use the AirPort driver to run the card. Didn't work with my Wavelan IEEE, which supposedly is identical internally to the Orinoco, but a real Orinoco should be fine. There is a great commercial driver for any and all 802.11b cards under either MacOS 8.x or 9.x or X. http://www.ioxperts.com/ has the details. -.\\<-H- -- Michelle Klein-Hass Box 2273, Van Nuys, CA 91404-2273 Brought to you by Linux, KDE and KMail...try it, you'll like it! -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
