    TIA

    OK, does anyone even know of anyone with a PowerBook, OS X and a PCMCIA ethernet card? I.e. is it even possible? ... Or, is there a HCL for OS X (google doesn't know of it)

    (Yes, I have googled.. and I just see Mac OS 8/9 cards.. no mention of X)

    Actually, it looks like the card you linked to doesn't support OS X or Powerbook G3's or above. I had success with a Farallon card (don't remember the model number) in my G3 Bronze in 10.3 and 9.2, until I looked in my laptop bag this morning and found I'd lost it.

    So if anyone has any other recommendations, or has an old Farallon ethernet card they want to unload on the cheap, I'd love to hear about it....
