The pcmcia usb cards you want to use should be 16 bit type (that is without the gold strip on top). These are rare to find. I even do not no if they exist. If you want to use other cards like a cardbus 32bit type(with gold strip) without modding you cannot put one in the slot/cage of a 3400. Apple wanted in that time to support only old 16 bit cards.But lucky for us they did put a cardbus compattible controller inside.So only the cage is not comppatible. But the controller is . Modding is quite easy. The only thing to do you need is to cut with handy tools of your choice the plastic notcheson the slot side of the card to look exactly like a 16 bit card. That is quickly done and then some cards will be accepted. Which ones you have to search/google the net. I have a "Kobishi PC-Card to USB 2.0" That works perfectly. But I can not tell you about others. Helpmac(Michel) -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
