Greetings Listers, 'Pologies for the OT Q, but I'm pretty sure somebody here will know the answer.
I have a friend who has a eMac which is about 4 or 5 years old currently running Mac-OS 9. She wishes to connect it to a Wireless net which is running in her house. For simplicity I suggested that she consider something like a Netgear 54Mbps Wireless USB 2.0 Adapter WG111 which is available from DSE. See:- http://www.dse.co.nz/cgi-bin/dse.storefront/4566b3f903c0529c273fc0a87f99075a/Product/View/XH8486 The price seems pretty attractive. So, here are the Qs. Can she do that with Mac-OS9? If not, can this age of machine run a USB-Wireless thingie under Mac-OS X? Alternatively how well do the various 'Buntu incarnations run on this age hardware? We only want an Office, e-mail and a bit of WWW browsing. Will this Wireless Adaptor, or any other, run on a PPC machine of the above age running Linux, or *BSD? Thanks a million. -- CS
