That's not the issue since, if anything, most *only* support 68k Macs. Some advice, though... Check compatibility first. Some, such as the old Focus ones have to install a machine-specific driver in the System suitcase and usually only support the Plus, SE, Classic and some early II-series desktops. Similarly, be careful of the ubiquitous Asante's as only certain models support powerbooks. That leaves mostly the DaynaPORT Ether/SC series (regular and pocket), the Xircom (oem of the Dayna), the Sonic, and the Farallon (OEM of the Sonic). The Dayna are nice pieces of hardware, but the drivers only support "Classic" networking, so that limits you to MacOS 7.5.5. OTOH, the Sonic (and I presume, the Farallon) will support OpenTransport, so you can run up to 8.1. <<<john>>> -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
