I've been looking at the Airport Express as a way of playing iTunes over the stereo.
My gigabit ethernet G4 (dual 500) is not Extreme-ready. It is Airport-ready, but I don't have a card installed. Apple no longer sells non-Extreme cards, and new non-Extreme cards are selling at auction for significantly more than Apple sells the Extreme cards for.
Does anyone know of another way to get Airport Extreme onto an older Mac? If not, I may yet bite the bullet and get one of the too-expensive, slower, old non-Extreme cards.
Assuming you have an available PCI slot? Use a PCI card 802.11g adapter . See http://forums.xlr8yourmac.com/action.lasso?-database=faq.fp3&- layout=FaqList&-response=answer.faq.lasso&-recordID=34042&-search I am using the Motorola card on my Power Mac and it works great. OS X immediately recognized it and set up was Apple easy.
Thanks Jack, that's a very helpful link. I do have a spare PCI slot and $40 at Walmart sounds pretty good.
