It's not quite that easy. I have been considering buying a 3400C or 3500 G3 "Kanga" and discovered that the PCMCIA card is a Type I - (16 bit). I searched far and wide for a wiresless Type I card and never found one. The best solution is to upgrade your PCMCIA slot in your 3400c to a Type II (32 bit), then you'll be set (once you get the drivers) . BTW, I just bet many drivers will work since the networking protocal is so standardized. The source for the Cardbus Upgrade is MCE Powerbook Products, www.powerbook1.com , it cost $99.00. You fedex your PB, they uprgade it and fedex it back. Then you can go crazy with Type II cards. -- David Dabney Integrity Appraisals 3126 S.
