JUST DO NOT insert a Cardbus card in your 1400.
Don't worry, he can't. CardBus cards will not fit in a 1400. They
are keyed differently to prevent that from happening.
Marcel,
The wireless card will need drivers. Who is the manufacturer?
For cards from Proxim, ORiNOCO, Lucent, WaveLAN, Dell, Sony, and a
handful of others, you can probably find the most recent drivers on
Proxim's website. For cards from Farallon (the SkyLINE line of
cards), you can also find drivers on Proxim's website. For most of
the other brands, you're out of luck. If it's a Linksys card, just
sell it or put it in a PC. You can't use it on your 1400.
The fax/modem most likely will work without drivers (or, more
appropriately, will work with Apple's generic fax/modem driver).
You'll still need to configure your system for the card, though -
check out the Modem control panel if you've got one...
The CD-ROM drive does NOT necessarily need FWB CD-ROM Tool Kit.
Apple has a generic driver that works for most CD-ROM drives (and can
be hacked to work with ALL CD-ROM drives). Plug in the drive to the
PowerBook (if you've got the right cables and adapters), put a CD-ROM
in it, and see if the CD shows up on the PowerBook's desktop. If it
doesn't, post back - there may be more troubleshooting to do.
Peace,
Drew
