I'm running OS 9.1. and the PB1400c has 48 MB of RAM. 2. I received the following e-mail from Orinoco regarding their driver on PB1400's: "Our 802.11b driver doesn't work with your model PowerBook because it requires an internal application called PC Card Manager 3. Unfortunately, this isn't a file on the hard drive that you can upgrade.? PC Card Manager 3?

  Running Orinoco 7.2 is NOTHING new on the PB 1400's, 2400's and 3400's. I wrote an article on this two years ago.
  
  There were a half dozen "brand versions" of the Lucent, then Agere, now Proxim Orinoco Silver or Gold (also known as Turbo whatever's) and ALL work in the above mentioned PB as well as the 320!
  
  If you listen to company tech talking heads like the current Orinoco guys who weren't arounf when the cars were made and we '90's Mac heads made them work with PowerBooks . . . well you'll never go wireless with yours.
  
  Just run the app, plug in your card before running the "Assistant" and quite worrying.
