I would like to install an AirPort Extreme card in a recently
acquired PowerMac G5 Dual 2.3GHz. Apple Knowledge Base
(<http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3096>) says that the machine will
only work with a special combination AirportExtreme+Bluetooth2.0+EDR
card.
I think have located the card for sale. It seems to be the same one
that works in iMac G5 (A1126), but according to the description it
requires another part ("runway card") to work in a PowerMac G5. I
cannot find the "runway card" anywhere.
The AirPort slot in the computer would fit a regular AirPort Extreme
card, so I am guessing that the "runway card" might adapt the combo
AP+BT card to the slot in the computer.
The wiring inside the computer looks as if it is meant to connect to
an A1126 card.
I would appreciate knowing whether the above guesswork is correct
and, if so, does anyone have any of the parts that I need? (I am a
member of the swap list.)
I guess that the backup plan would be to get a PCI-X wireless card.
Thanks in advance for any feedback.
