hi,
is there an apple supported airport card for the pismo powerbook, so that i can use the existing airport software that is built into mac os x? if there is what brands are?
could i just use an apple brand one like the ones that used to ship in the ibook g3's?
thanks
Look under Laptop Accessories @ http://www.themacmarket.com/buy.cfm
Lucent Technologies IEEE 802.11b Wavelan Wireless PCCard/ works with Apples Airport Drivers in OS9 and in OS 7.5.2 to OSX with drivers for all pcmcia equipped powerbooks-190/5300/2400/G3/ G4 powerbooks
PRICE: $50.0

I agree.. any Lucent wifi card, really. Lucent makes good wireless equipment that normally works with Macs.
A PC card is a hassle with its antenna hanging out the side. A pukka AP card costs only $40 to $60, and has zero software issues.

another thing i was wondering is does the pismo have its own airport card slot AND a pcimia slot? if so would the pre extreme ibook airport cards work in a pismo? if it doesnt have this second slot will the ibook airpost card work anyway?
thanks
the reason i ask is because i already have a pre extreme ibook airport card sitting on my desk here.
The pismo does have a pre-extreme airport card slot and a CardBus slot. So the airport card will work in your PB.
and now just one final question..... can anyone sell me a powerbook pismo for 250$ or under(not including shipping)? would be appreciated if someone has one to sell.
what i have to trade....
1 beige g3 266mhz, 384mb ram, 30gb hd, cd-rom, floppy, os 9.2.2
1 9600/300 208mb ram, 4gb hd, double twin turbo cards for two screens, asante fast 10/100 ethernet card.
1 17" veiw sonic truflat monitor very nice picture.
1 19" sony trinitron monitor also very nice picture.
I think you would be really lucky to find one for under $250. Just a casual glance around still shows these machines selling around $400.00 depending on configuration.
there is some on craigs list for 300$ but i havent got anyone to reply back yet.
Not sure where you're from, but where I live, the only two pismos on craigslist are both going for over $400.00. I used to own two pismos. Great machines, but I just don't think they are worth that much anymore. But what do I know? If people keep selling them for that price, and other people keep buying them for it, then that establishes the market value. I just can't help but think that that is is a bit of a rip off. I hope you do find one for $250.00.
i live in boston. theres some good deals over here and then theres the people who do try and rip you off. like one person tried charging 700$ for a beige g3 266mhz.
I must agree, that's a complete rip-off, one of my friends got one for £25!!!!
