right.. there is an etch on one side of the end that NEEDS to be on
the card to let it FIT into a PCMCIA slot on a 1400. though
requesting cardbus, I do not know how it works. I took a Wallstreet
DVD and tried to put it into a 3500/Kanga/G3 #1, but the PCMCIA card
for the wallstreet that was CardBus DID NOT work in the Kanga once
trimmed to 'fit'...

Orinoco did make a CardBus version that wasn't, AFAIK, Mac
compatible. CardBus cards have a metal finger contact strip
around the connector. If it's just plain metal all the way from
the connector end to the antenna housing then it's not CardBus.
Did you try the other card slot? Have you tried the Airport
drivers, at least in the WallStreet, I think you have to manually
install the software on a 1400.
A CardBus card won't insert into the standard PCMCIA slot on the
1400. It was a design feature, to keep people from attempting to
use CardBus cards in the older slots. However, the CardBus standard
is reverse compatible with the older PCMCIA standard.
