And while we're on the topic of PC cards for the 3400c, I am a new PowerBook user. This 3400 is my very first PowerBook and I've had it for less than a week. Delightful.
Are there any specific PCMCIA cards that I should be looking for ??
Anything outstanding or useful that has really impressed you veterans that I should look for on eBay or MacSwap ???
Until I got this thing last week I didn't even know what a PCMCIA card was !
First off unless this 3400 has been upgraded it probably cannot use a CardBus PC Card (PCMCIA is the old term for PC Card). I say probably as there apparently some 3400s shipped with CardBus card cages. CardBus is the new and improved PC Card. It can transfer data at a higher rate. Most 10/100 Ethernet cards are CardBus (MacAlly's isn't). All available USB cards are CardBus (there is a rumor of an early model that wasn't). All FireWire and 802.11g cards are.
The following ARE usable in any 3400.
802.11b wireless flash media adapters (for use with cameras, mp3 players and as media transfer. MacAlly 10/100 card 56K modem
In my Kanga which is basically a G3 version of the 3400 I used a wireless card and a couple of flash adapters.
