My god, lets find something a bit more current dear author! Like adding wireless to a PB-1400 is something difficult or new!!?? Not.


I write this on a 1996 1400C with a Dell "TrueMobile" version of the ORiNOCO 802.11b Gold Card, running Agere ORiNOCO driver version 1.72 on OS 9.1 (9.2 will NOT run on a 1400 even max'ed out in RAM) and a Sonnet 466MHz kit I found from a retail on the Internet for only $229!


I also found brand new single 36MB or 24MB modules for $98 the pair at OMNI Technologies (Florida) to max out my PB1400C to 64MB long ago!


And don't bother with a PB Wallstreet/PDQ/Lombard project article, I did one of those a year ago too! http://homepage.mac.com/techedgeezine/cart_mac_pb1.html

    The key point her is people are dusting off those old 1400s off and for around $30 bringing them back into service.

    This has its advantages now that most homes have wireless networks. These two items alone weren't the norm when you shoveled out all that dough. ;}

    Who cares? Starving students and other people on a tight budget.
