Hi all. I was just thinking. If a powerbook 5300 can support wi-fi, why can't they make a usb card that will fit in the modem card slot. If it will take high speed internet, why can't it take usb through this port?
They could, they just don't. I it's just that when people started making 802.11b card CardBus wasn't so hot and when they started making USB then Cardbus was "in". Also I think the chipsets for USB controllers are all built for PCI interface which means CardBus.
