I have a 1Ghz eMac and a Dual 1,42GHz FW800 PowerMac G4, both bought used
and without AirPort card. I needed Wifi on the eMac and I bought what I
think is the correct AirPort vía eBay. When it arrived I put it on the eMac
but it did not recognize it. I tried on the PowerMac (loaned to a friend)
I ordered one of these:
Satechi 12 Port USB Hub with Power Adapter 2 Control Switches
from Amazon because someone (David Pogue? Randy Singer? I know you should
never drop names -- Paul McCartney told me that.)
I haven't received it yet, but it looks good. You can google for some
In defense of Belkin, I have a 4-port powered Belkin hub that I have had
for 13 years now, with not one problem ever occurring. It has been a
great peripheral, and even though it was inexpensive, it has served me well.

Those standards are suspect to start with, but you should be fine. I've done it
for my employer on machines that haven't had a disk failure in years, which is
unusual seeing as they're HP :P
One wipe is really enough though, but standards are standards unfortunately :/

When I first got my G4, from a coworker in 2001, he coldn't find the system
disk for about a month and a half. By then, I had, been using it, and didn't

The macintel list seems to be the one intel-based LEM list with decent
traffic.
Pretty soon non-Ivy Bridge Intel Macs (and the Hack clones of pre-Ivy
