Re: airport card

[Charles Martin]

I have a powerbook 400mhz Pismo and an iMac DV 400mhz. Is there a 
benefit to
going with an Apple Airport card vs. another outside card for either of
these machines? I'm running 9.2.2 on both.

As regards the iMac, the Apple card (which is now quite expensive 
<shakes fist at Apple>) is your ONLY internal option. No third-party 
card will fit. There are EXTERNAL housings that use third-party cards 
and plug into your Ethernet port (I've seen them at hotels, but haven't 
ever found one in the usual Mac retail circles) that should work fine, 
if you can locate one.

IIRC, the Pismo has a PCMCIA card slot, so you can use a less expensive 
outside card.
