I don't think the PCI compliancy would be a problem. The problem is the 
drivers for the PCI to PCMCIA adapter. When I first went to use a wireless PC 
Card in my PCI Mac, I assumed the adapters would be a neutral issue, and one 
would only need the card and the drivers for the card. Not so. You need 
drivers for the PC Card AND the adapter. Of course, I don't understand why 
someone can't, or won't make a PCMCIA compliant adapter, that would act just 
like a laptop slot. Oh well.

<< I'm just wondering about using PCMCIA --> PCI adaptors in the old 
powermacs,

as i'm looking to do it

for both a 7500 and a G3.   However to the best of my knowledge they are

both only PCI 2.1 compliant, and most of these adaptors are need 2.2

compliancy.


Anyone had any success with using such an adaptor?
