G'day
My first posting to this list even though I've been following it for
over a year :-)
I've decided to extend the life and use of my trusty-old PB3400c and
wanted to ask for advice/recommendations to make few modifications to
it. The only improvements that I'm aware are all related to its PC cards.
My new Asus P5AD2-Deluxe box has a wireless router on it so first step:
I wanted to get a Wireless PC card for my pb3400c (144mb ram/2gb hdd/Mac
OS922)
1) Would "Netgear WG-511" work on my pb3400? The Netgear product site
doesn't say anything about MacOS9 compatibility
(http://www.netgear.com/products/details/WG511.php) but this model is
the cheapest I could find on the market. Is there a way to get it
working on my pb?
I'm aware that I'll need to shave-off the the pc card a bit to get it
fit into the pb....
2) Flash card on powerbooks been talked to death all over the internet
but not quite in terms of its advantages and whether it's worth spending
much funds on that (that I could find!).
A 2GB flash card is about $150 Australian dollars (or even cheaper
elsewhere) and even a 4GB one wouldn't be far too fetched.
Can someone give me an indication on how much performance improvement
could be gained by using a 2/4gb flash card as hdd on pb3400?
Or would it be a better option to go for a 256/512mb flash card as a
virtual memory?
Cheers and thanks in advance for any help :-)
